So I have a chance to pick up a set of brand new take off 20" 2011 Camaro wheels mounted brand new Pirelli P Zero tires (275/40-20 rears 245/45-20 fronts) I want the wheels for my G8, but the tires are too big. Does anyone know if local tire shops will buy these tires (not at full price, I know) or accept them maybe on a trade for the tires I need? Better yet, anyone need these tires? I dont want to buy the set unless I know I can recoup some of the money from the tires. ---

Broadway used tires? They will probably just resell them as new and low ball you on the price. I expect 20’s would go rather quick considering their target base customer. Other than that, eBay would be a good bet on resale value but shipping could kill you. ---

broadway used tires or craigslist… You’ll def be able to get rid of 20" tires no problem as long as your not asking a ton for them. ---

A possible long shot stretch may even be Redline. Either him or some of his friends with Camaros could be interested in some discount tires. ---

PCI Tire in Rotterdam on May Ave would buy the pirelli’s off of you, I can’t say for how much but they’ve done something similar for me before. ---

craigslist or camaro forums should get rid of them quick if they are in good shape. ---

I bought the set and put the tires on ebay. Bought new tires and they are being mounted today. Should have them on the car tonight. I should be able to sell my stock wheels and only be out a few hundo and have brand new wheels and tires.

A place like that I expected to low ball you, but thats just insulting. Almost seemed like they wanted to dispose of them and charge you $10 a tire instead of 5.
