Used car tyres in Toronto typically sell for C$57 to C$565 (about $40 to $405). Tyres are safety-critical and legally regulated, so tread depth and age are the only things that really matter.
Selling car tyres in Toronto
Toronto is Canada’s largest city and its most expensive, and the condo boom of the last two decades means an enormous share of the population lives in a small apartment. Furniture sized for a condo moves quickly here; anything built for a house does not.
Rental turnover is high and newcomers to Canada arrive here in greater numbers than anywhere else, so households are constantly being furnished from scratch and cleared out again. Supply is steady rather than seasonal.
Most small handovers happen near a subway or GO station because driving downtown and finding anywhere to stop is genuinely difficult. For condo collections, the building will usually require the service lift to be booked in advance.
Toronto, in Ontario, has around 2.8 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Ottawa, Brampton and Hamilton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Toronto
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
What car tyres are worth
What lifts the price
- Matching sets of four in the same size
- Recognised brands with no repairs
What pulls it down
- Tyres more than several years old, whatever the tread
- Previous puncture repairs
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
- Measure the tread depth across the whole width with a gauge, not by eye, and record the figure.
- Inspect both sidewalls for bulges, cuts, cracking and any previous repair. Any of these means the tyre should be scrapped rather than sold.

Put in the description
- Measured tread depth in millimetres, across the width
- The four-digit date code from the sidewall
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.
