Tyre value?
« on: 15 September 2017, 17:04:17 »
A pair of almost new (about 500 miles)Dunlop Sportmaxx 255/35/ZR 20.

Between 7-8 MM of tread all over. Date stamp 3516.

Must be worth something.

I would hazard a guess at just over half the price of a new pair ?  :-\

Roughly about £170 each when fitted by the 'professionals' at Kwik Fit. :)

6mm is probably about half worn, so 7mm isn't far off half worn ;)

New tyres have 8mm of tread and if you take away the legal minimum tread of 1.6mm that gives you a legal usable tread depth of 6.4mm which means a half worn tyre will technically have 4.8mm of tread.  ;)

These tyres have (using a digital gauge) approx 7.3-7.8MM. :y

They are clearly not very good at Maths in Brackley. ::)
