Old 10 ply's

The tires on my rig have a little over 30k miles and tons of tread left but they are 6 years old so I am replacing them. Many on this forum say farmers are eager to buy used tires for their field trailers. That discussion always centered around newer Marathon or whatever tires. Is the same true for 6 year old ten ply's? If there is value there I hate to leave it to the tire dealer? Jim

Put them on Craigslist and see what happens. I'd say you did well with those tires. Good luck.

I'd also try Craig's list first. More and more of us out in the boonies are using it to find things.

Craigslist is good, or as in the case of us farmers here locally in Oregon, the "Capital Press" which is a local farm newspaper. My neighbor jumped at the chance to take my Marathons. The farmers love to get hold of tires like this, as all their movements are usually slow speed moving, short distances, and some of the tires I've seen on their equipment made the Marathons (and even the old Missions) look really good.

X4 Craigslist. Sold our old Marathons in four days to a horse person (more of them here than farmers!).
