Getting rid of almost new tyres

Hello, does anyone know where I can sell 4 almost new summer tyres for an SUV (cheaply and quickly)? My car was delivered about a week ago and I bought new all-season tyres to replace the original summer ones. Euromaster is fitting the new set but they won't buy the original set from me. I hate to throw them out seeing how these Pirellis have only 800 km on them. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

Re: Getting rid of almost new tyres

Advertise them here in the commercial section with all details (exact size, type, etc) or put them on Ricardo.ch. Or put a private ad at your local Migros or Coop board, or your local grocers.

Try anibis.ch or ricardo.ch

Or put an ad up on at the local Coop/Denner/Migros

Good luck.

Re: Getting rid of almost new tyres

Thanks! I would post them in the Classifieds section here but I don't have enough posts yet to do that. I think you need 10 minimum. As for the other methods, I am linguistically challenged So if someone calls and inquires in French, that won't work!

Go ahead and put the ads in English. People will get the picture.

Re: Getting rid of almost new tyres
