Default What should I do with old tires?

I still have some 185, 70R, 13, tires for Civic and Integra in my place. They are over ten years old, but barely used. What should I do with them? Sell them? Keep them or throw them away?

if they're 13", they're not for an integra

Honestly, if they're that old, they're probably not roadworthy... especially if they've been outside. I'd chuck them unless you want to make some classy flower planters or something :exnbp:

But anyways, I would agree with white n slow - chuck em

odds are they have sun rot or small cracks all around the edge of the tread that would break apart when they heated up. Into teh trash

I bought some all-season tires because these originals are not. So they are still barely used and are not exposed to the weather.

Take a trip around town the night before garbage day. Put the tires by someone elses garbage. That way, they have to pay for disposal, not you. :rick:
