how to choose, check and whether to buy used tires

Konstantin Ishchenko

experienced car enthusiast

The hardest hit on the budget of a motorist is when you have to buy both summer and winter sets of tires within one year.

For example, the popular Nissan Qashqai is equipped with 225/45 R19 tires in the maximum configuration, a set of the middle price category will cost about 50,000 RUR.

But there is an option to save money and buy used tires. This article will tell you how to safely buy used tires and when you shouldn't.

You will know:

  • How to know which tires to look for
  • Is it worth buying used tires
  • Why they sell used tires and who does it
  • Where to buy used tires
  • What to check when buying used tires
  • Additional things to check when buying used winter tires
  • How to calculate the fair price of used tires (calculator)

How to know which tires to look for

Assume that the tires are worn out, worn out Or the season has changed. We wrote in detail about how to assess the condition of tires and understand when they need to be changed in a separate instruction. Before you start looking for tires, it is important to be able to read their parameters. The most important in this situation are the size, manufacturer and model of the tire.

If the task is to buy a set of four tires, then it is important to respect the size. If you damaged one tire, you will have to look for exactly the same one: two wheels of the same axle must have tires with the same tread pattern, and this is possible only in the case of tires of the same model.

/save/koleso-hack/

How to save money on buying car tires and wheels?

Tire parameters important to look for: width, profile height and rim diameter Tire manufacturer and model

Does it make sense to buy used tires

According to Avtostat, an average car in Russia drives 17,500 km per year. Let's take the average wear resistance of tires according to the Treadwear index - 320 and calculate how long a new set of summer tires could theoretically last.

Every 100 index units is 12,500 km, which means tires are rated for 40,000 km. Assuming that the summer kit is used for 6 months out of 12, the mileage for six months is 8750 km, and the kit is enough for 4.5 seasons.

If the annual mileage is 30,000 km, then the summer kit should wear out in 2.7 seasons. But I have not met people who change tires in the middle of the season: either they change them in the spring, or they drive them until autumn.

Judging by Yandex Market, the average popular tire 205/55 R16 costs 5500 R, which means that the set is 22 000 R. Let's round up 2.7 to three full seasons. One season costs Rs. pay more than 14,000 R. How to evaluate the tread depth on a used tire, we will tell a little later.

/top-economic-cars/

11 economical cars for daily driving

These are very average values, but still usable. There is no perfect formula, operating conditions and driving style are very different.

Buying used tires will allow you not to get into a loan if a new set is too expensive. Or it will help those who know for sure that at the end of the season they will change the car: there is no point in buying new tires for the next driver. However, the theoretical calculation does not take into account your travel time for the next purchase and the risks of buying a bad kit. If you plan to drive a car for at least two years, buy new tires.

Velcro on stamped disc. A set of tires and wheels - 3000 R. I took it to change the car into it for the duration of a long body repair. It was a pity for me to leave the car on the expensive original casting. I had to spend two weeks searching, look through hundreds of ads and once go to the other end of the city. When the wheels are no longer needed, I plan to sell for 6000 R

Why they sell used tires and who does it

At first glance, selling tires is illogical. Tires need to be worn out completely and then disposed of, but the market for used rubber is huge. It has several types of sellers with very different offers.

Companies that sell used tires from Europe and Japan. Despite the ban on the import of used rubber, which has been in effect in the Eurasian Customs Union since January 1, 2010, this business is booming. The main thing is to prove that tires are not hazardous waste and they are not imported for recycling. Therefore, on Avito and various sites, many offices offer used tires of various brands, sizes and models.

Advantages and disadvantages of specialty stores that sell used tires

Benefits Disadvantages
Huge selection of summer tires

Advice available, professionals know their product

Usually there is a tire service on site

Safer online shopping. Many sell by bank transfer as a full-fledged online store

Tire warranty until the first tire fitting, a defective tire will be changed to a good one or money back

There is almost no choice of winter tires: no studded and little friction - Velcro. You can only buy "euro-winter" for mild climatic conditions.

Consultation will not always be truthful and in the interests of the buyer. Everything is like on the market in a bad sense of the word

Tires can be of the old year of manufacture

Here are some of the benefits of a used tire dealer:

  1. Huge selection of summer tyres.
  2. You can get advice, professionals know their product
  3. Usually there is a tire service on site.
  4. More secure online shopping. Many trade by bank transfer as a full-fledged online store.
  5. Tire warranty until the first tire fitting, a defective tire will be replaced with a good one or the money will be returned.

But there are also disadvantages:

  1. There is almost no choice of winter tires: no studded and low-friction Velcro tires. You can only buy "euro-winter" for mild climatic conditions.
  2. Advice will not always be truthful and in the best interests of the buyer. Everything is like in the market in the bad sense of the word.
  3. Tires may be old year.
Warehouse of one of the used rubber sales companies. Darker and shiny tires have already been given a marketable appearance. They look fresher and more attractive

Dealers and tire shops. They differ from the first ones in scale - they are much smaller, and also in that they trade at best on the scale of one city. Often the base for such activities is a tire shop. They buy cheaply at Avito or from tire fitting clients, sell more expensively at Avito or other tire fitting clients.

There are also not very pleasant scenarios: an unscrupulous tire fitting worker offers to dispose of a completely normal set of tires “out of friendship” and gets it for free. For another client, the same kit “very much nothing, two seasons will definitely pass” costs 15,000 rubles.

/save/garage-hack/

A typical tire shop that sells rubber for emergency replacement of a damaged tire. The choice is small, storage is not according to the rules: direct sunlight damages tires. But there are situations when there is no choice

Individuals who sell unwanted tires for a variety of reasons. Here are the main ones:

  • the car was sold or trade-in, there were tires or even wheels assembled. Selling separately for added value. This makes sense: a car will definitely not become more expensive due to a set of wheels;
  • the car was stolen, smashed or stopped driving in winter. There was a set of wheels left, which, in general, has nowhere to go;
  • bought new tires, they sell the old one. Often the tires are completely worn out and ask for scrap, but the owners try to sell them at the price of a set "for the season". Unfortunately, Avito is inundated with such announcements.

Advantages and disadvantages of buying tires from an individual

Advantages of Disadvantages
You can search for tires by car make and model, not just size

With a bit of luck, you can make a super bargain

You will have to choose among ads for a long time and carefully

Many do not know what they are selling (errors in names, sizes and tire models are the norm)

A rare seller agrees to tire fitting in his presence, everything will have to be checked by himself and by hand

Many scammers: they can offer to leave an advance payment and disappear or send an erased kit instead of what is in the ad

No warranty on tires

Here are the benefits of buying used tires from individuals:

  1. You can search tires by car make and model, not just size.
  2. With a certain amount of luck, you can make a super bargain.

But there are also disadvantages:

  1. You will have to choose among ads for a long time and carefully.
  2. Many do not know what they are selling (errors in names, sizes and tire models are the norm)
  3. A rare seller agrees to tire fitting in his presence, everything will have to be checked by himself and by hand.
  4. Many scammers: they may offer to leave an advance payment and disappear or send an erased set instead of what is in the ad.
  5. No warranty on tires.
The wheel from the kit, which I bought from a private trader from the Mini club telegram chat. The seller got rid of the car and urgently sold the original casting on almost new tires. 16,000 R for such a set is a gift of fate. And in order not to take risks, I asked a friend to control the shipment of wheels to my city

Where they buy used tires

Universal ad platforms: Avito, Yula and others. Here is the largest selection of used tires. Both private traders and professionals sell. Despite the convenient application and filters, it takes a lot of time to search. Don't expect every seller to list the model correctly. Bridgestone Potenza can become just "Bridge Stone" - and this is not the worst option.

You will have to scroll through a huge number of ads with completely worn-out tires that are only suitable for recycling. Unfortunately, no filters will save you from this. Looking for tires on Avito is like looking for a treasure: you have to dig a lot, and no one guarantees a reward, but some are lucky.

/avito-fraud/

"Avito": how to avoid scammers

Adjust the filter by size - so you will have more chances to find the tires you need You can no longer drive on such tires: they are worn out to the limit marks, this can be seen even in the photo. Plus, the sidewalls are very worn out. But the seller still thinks that he can get 3000 R for them

Websites for car sales announcements: "Avto-ru" and "Drom". There are few private ads here, mainly specialized stores operate on such sites.

Droma has the largest selection of used wheels and tires from Japan in the country. Drome offers a good customer protection service and acts as a guarantor of purchase: if they send you worn or damaged tires, the site will return the money. If everything is fine, they will be transferred to the seller.

At the time of writing the article on Avto-ru, there were only five private ads for the sale of tires of the common size 205/50 R17 throughout Russia. It makes no sense to look for tires from private traders on this site. Source: Avto-ru

Car club sites: forums, chat rooms, Drive-2 — places where representatives of car clubs communicate. Sometimes it can be difficult to find the site itself. This can be a group on Vkontakte, a chat on Telegram or WhatsApp.

There are fewer offers here, but they are more interesting, more likely to find a good set. It is not customary to post completely junk for sale in communities or to greatly inflate the price: the ad will be discussed, criticized, or even deleted altogether.

But don't forget about safety. You should not buy something without verification or send the entire amount to a stranger in another city. It is usually customary to ask a friend of a teammate to go look at the kit and make sure that the tires are sent. Here, as a rule, you can place your ad on the purchase of the necessary tires and wait for responses.

There is a flea market on Drive-2. It is not very popular, but it is worth looking into it: there are filters separately for disks, wheels and tires, you can specify the dimensions.

/carservice/

How to save on the operation of the car

Special online stores and car dismantling. In most cases, such sellers open an official representative office on Avito, but some sites are also still working. They may have rare tires or a more interesting price. Large auto-dismantlers rarely sell tires - they mainly sell sets of wheels. The condition of the tires on the rims is most often mediocre: a car is not sent to scrap on good tires.

Tire shops and car services. It's hard to find interesting deals on tires here, it's not their business. Tires in a tire shop are usually bought in emergency cases: when one or more tires are damaged, but you need to somehow drive a couple of weeks to pay.

What to check when buying used tires

Price. Before buying used tires, it is better to check the price of new tires of the right size. Tires from young Chinese brands are very cheap, and the market for used tires is overheated and overpriced. It is impossible to unequivocally answer which is better: a new tire from an unknown manufacturer or a used tire from a well-known brand. But it is necessary to compare, study reviews and weigh everything.

At first glance, an excellent offer. A set of fresh tires 215/55 R17 with 20% wear for 18,000 R. But the indicated balance of 6 mm is about 30% wear. The remaining tread of the new tire is 8 mm, the tread limiter bar has a height of 1. 6 mm. The tire is worn 2 mm. Usable tread depth: 8 mm − 1.6 mm = 6.4 mm. 2mm from 6.4mm is 31% wear. Source: Avito But then it turns out that the new ones are very inexpensive. The remaining 6 mm is two-thirds of the tire resource, which means that buying such a kit costs no more than 16,000 R. Source: Yandex Market

Manufacturer, model, size, indices and other features. Be sure to check all tire specifications - everything that is indicated on the sidewall. The seller may not understand tires well or deliberately lie. Carefully inspect each tire. For example, you can accidentally buy a set of four tires, where three will be with runflat technology and one without it. If buying tires remotely, always ask for individual photos of each tire in full detail, or even better, a video.

Tire year. Among the advertisements of specialized stores, there are often tires that are more than 5 years old. Tires may have excellent tread residue, but it is better to refrain from such a purchase. The older the tire, the worse its properties and the greater the chance of hidden damage: cracks, delaminations and ruptures.

/wtf/bezkoles/

How online tire stores deceive car owners

The tire release marking always looks like this: the first two digits are the week of production, the second two are the year

Tread depth. It is not necessary to measure the residual depth “by eye”, it is better to buy a special device or use a caliper. The standard tread depth of new summer car tires is 7-8 mm, winter tires are 8-10 mm.

About tires that are long overdue for disposal, they wrote above: summer tires less than 4 mm or winter tires less than 5 mm should not be bought "for the season", it is not safe.

Digital Tread Depth Gauge is a simple and cheap instrument. It will help to accurately measure the residual tread depth and adjust the price of a set of tires. Source: Yandex Market

Tread condition, damage and repairs. Do not buy tires with uneven tread wear. They will not be able to provide a complete drainage of water from the contact patch with the road, it is unsafe to ride on them. Severe cuts or even the absence of individual tread fragments will also be a reason to refuse a purchase. Without a specialist, you run the risk of buying a tire that you cannot use.

But do not be afraid of well-repaired punctures. Tires with patches on the inside of the tread part can be bought, this will not affect further operation. You should not buy tires on which punctures were repaired with a tourniquet.

/mini-jcw/

How much does it cost to own a Mini John Cooper Works

Obviously, this tire is no good: there is almost no tread, the studs are completely worn out. The central part is almost completely missing, and the sidewalls are less worn. Maybe the tire was pumped. Surprisingly, they also sell such

Cracks and delaminations. Long longitudinal cracks, along the circumference of the tire on the sidewall or small cracks in the tread area - in any case, bad. Either such a tire was poorly stored, or it is very old. This is a particularly dangerous case, because such a tire can collapse while driving and cause a terrible accident. Cracks are not repaired, so you will have to refrain from buying.

Sidewall condition, damage and repairs. Hernias of any size, side cuts and patches on the side of the tire are good reasons to keep looking. You can't buy these tires.

Carefully inspect and feel the sidewalls of the tires. Unfortunately, not all defects can be found on a tire without a disk and without air inside. It will be ideal if you can mount tires on rims in a tire shop. Ask to balance the wheels and only then pay.

/guide/rezina/

How to choose tires for a car or crossover

If in doubt that the tires are intact, look for another option. Remember that it is the tires that connect your car and the road.

The surface adjacent to the rim may also be damaged on the tire. The photo shows the consequences of careless tire fitting of an old tire. I don't recommend buying this tire. If in doubt, and the offer is very interesting, ask the opinion of a tire fitting specialist

What to additionally check when buying used winter tires

Presence of spikes and their condition. It is not necessary to count every stud on a tire, it is difficult and time consuming. Just look at the tire: if it seems that there are about half of the studs on it or less, you do not need to buy a tire. Studded tires without studs won't get Velcro, so don't just look at the tread.

Studs on a tire that has already been driven for a couple of seasons look very different from new ones. They were worn off along the way, the seats were broken. In the background, you can see that the tire has already begun to lose studs. Even with sufficient tread, you can be left without spikes very quickly, it is better to look for another option

How to calculate the fair price of used tires

Ads often offer used tires at an inflated price. We have made a special calculator that will help you calculate the fair value of tires, regardless of the manufacturer, technical parameters of tires and their number in the kit.


How to buy used tires

  1. When looking for used tires, check all possible sites and do not be lazy to look for a community of owners of the same cars.
  2. Don't buy used tires until you compare prices. It is important to understand how much a tire of the same brand, model and size, but new, costs.
  3. Remember the safety of online shopping: ask questions in advance, ask for additional photos and videos, and beware of scammers.
  4. Check each tire very carefully. Make sure that all tires are made by the same manufacturer at about the same time, all tires have the same parameters. Make sure that there are no bulges, cracks, tears or delaminations on the tires and that the tread is worn evenly.
  5. Do not delay your trip to the tire shop: the less time passes, the more chances you have to return defective tires to the seller.
