Selling car tyres in Kanpur
Kanpur is a long-established industrial city and the centre of India’s leather trade. Tools, machinery and leather goods have a real local market, and the industrial base means workshop equipment appears regularly.
Industrial employment keeps tools and equipment circulating steadily. Household turnover is slower than in the faster-growing cities, so furniture that appears is usually a genuine clear-out.
The city is congested and the industrial areas are separate from the residential ones, so it is worth establishing which you are heading for. Driving is the normal way to collect anything substantial.
Kanpur, in Uttar Pradesh, 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. Lucknow, Ghaziabad and Agra are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Kanpur
Demand climbs ahead of the festival season and again in the run-up to wedding season, when clothing, jewellery and home items all move faster.
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
- Sidewall damage, bulges or cracking
- 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
- 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.
