Used car tyres in Waterloo typically sell for C$57 to C$565 (about $40 to $405). Be careful with this one: selling part-worn tyres is a regulated activity with specific legal requirements, and tyres near the legal minimum are not worth selling at all.
Selling car tyres in Waterloo
Waterloo is the university half of the twin-city region, with an engineering and computer science school that feeds the surrounding technology sector and a large insurance industry alongside it. The student population is enormous relative to the city’s size and the co-op terms mean it turns over several times a year rather than once.
Co-op terms are the defining rhythm here: students move in and out several times a year rather than annually, so desks, monitors and bikes come onto the market on a cycle measured in months. Prices drop sharply in the last week of a term.
The light rail line connects the campuses to both downtowns and is the easiest way to handle a small handover. Student housing near the universities is dense, so agree a building entrance rather than a street.
Waterloo, in Ontario, has around 125,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton 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
- 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
- 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
- Measure the tread depth across the whole width with a gauge, not by eye, and record the figure.
- Read the four-digit date code on the sidewall. Tyres age out regardless of tread, and buyers check this.

Heavy and awkward but not fragile. Collection is normal. If a tyre has less than around 3mm, sidewall damage or is more than a few years old, take it to a tyre centre for recycling rather than listing it.
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.
