Used car tyres in Charlotte typically sell for $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 Charlotte
Charlotte is a banking centre that has grown quickly on in-migration from the northeast and midwest. Arriving households furnish quickly and departing ones sell up, which keeps furniture and home office equipment moving steadily.
Corporate relocations drive most of the turnover, and people moving from a larger house into a newer, smaller one routinely sell the furniture that no longer fits rather than pay to move it.
The city is spread out and collection is by car, with easy parking outside the immediate centre. Traffic on the main radial routes at rush hour is the only real constraint on timing.
Charlotte, in North Carolina, has around 875,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Raleigh, Greensboro and Durham are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Charlotte
Two practical things shape a US sale. Shipping is priced by dimensional weight as well as actual weight, so a light bulky item can cost far more to send than a heavy small one — measure the box before you quote. And meeting in person is common enough that many police departments now run designated safe-exchange areas in their car parks.

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.
