Selling car tyres in St Albans
St Albans grew beside the Roman city of Verulamium and has an abbey with the longest nave in the country, a twice-weekly market that has run for over a thousand years and a commuter population working in the capital. It is affluent and well preserved.
Commuter households move with jobs in the capital, and the affluence means goods are replaced rather than worn out. Old housing stock brings genuinely old furniture onto the market.
The city centre is compact with narrow historic streets and market days make it busy, so agree a spot on a wider road for anything large. The station is a short walk from the centre.
St Albans, in England, has around 75,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What car tyres are worth
What lifts the price
- Tread depth well above the legal minimum
- Recognised brands with no repairs
What pulls it down
- Tyres more than several years old, whatever the tread
- Sidewall damage, bulges or cracking
Working out what yours is worth
- Measure the tread depth and state it in millimetres
- Photograph the sidewall including size and date
Getting it ready
- Read the four-digit date code on the sidewall. Tyres age out regardless of tread, and buyers check this.
- Inspect both sidewalls for bulges, cuts, cracking and any previous repair. Any of these means the tyre should be scrapped rather than sold.

Size, brand, tread and quantity: “225/45 R17 Michelin, 6mm Tread, Pair, 2022 Date Code”. The size is the search. State the actual millimetre tread depth and the date code — sellers who leave these out get endless questions and lower offers.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
