When I moved and had a set of tires I had no room for, it was surprisingly hard to give them away even to tire shops. I guess this explains some of it lol.

- dylan604 2y agoJust go to a lake and tie them against someone's boat launch, or just throw them in the lake. After all, you've gone this far of committing a crime, what's a little illegal dumping going to bother you?
- olyjohn 2y agoThis reminds me of another human behavior I see when driving. Some guy goes speeding down the freeway, weaving through traffic. Easily a reckless driving ticket, possibly jail time or car impounded. But they won't dare enter the carpool lane, even though it's totally empty. A ticket of $165.
- smitelli 2y agoThey're basically hazardous waste. Even if they have plenty of tread and a possible long life ahead of them, no shop wants the hassle or comeback risk that comes with installing parts that don't have a fresh warranty.

- gosub100 2y agomy first car had a bad tie-rod-end, something wrong with the steering. It would chew through tires unevenly every 4 months or so. but the beauty was (20+ years ago) they were only 13" tires, and getting them rotated was dirt-cheap. So I'd do that and replace them quarterly with used ones for $20 a pop instead of fix the steering problem.
- olyjohn 2y agoProbably still cheaper to fix the steering problem... Tie rod ends are like $15.
- aorloff 2y agoGo to a tire shop in a poor part of town. They will gladly sell you a used tire if you have a blowout.
