tire value???

[sdycke]

Any thoughts what the original set of tires for my '91 (1544) should get? Fronts have 7/32, rears 6. Even tread wear. No patches or plugs or fading/cracking. Had 14k miles when replaced. Co-worker would like to smoke them off on his 'stang but will only pay 100. Thanks for your input. Good luck with your election.

Well, if you hold on to them for long enough, I'm sure someone doing NCRS restoration would be interested. But, is it worth holding on to for x amount of years? If you have the space and can keep them from dry-rotting, I would hang on to them. If not, post them up for sale (here and on other sites, like Ebay), ask to make an offer, and see what you get. If no bites, then just get the quick $100 for them.:cheers:

I sold my original Gatorbacks with 3k miles 2 years ago for $200. Didn't want them sitting around taking up garage space, but now I regret not keeping them for originality sake.

Good luck selling them, I tried to give mine away. No takers. They're still in my barn.

Ha ha ha, :D I still have a full set too. Not safe for the road but may have value someday for NCRS. Meanwhile it takes more effort to haul them away than it's worth so they sit.

i have a full set still on my stock wheels.

[efnfast]

'magine that. Everybody keeping old tires.

[Fully Vetted]

Yep, count me in the group as well. Wrapped in plastic sitting in my storage.

I got $500 for a set of Gatorbacks that had 7000 miles.

I had a guy contact me for 1999 vintage GY GSC's. it was an NCRS guy. Gave them away for $40 for a pair of 275 fronts. shipping cost more, but i didn't have to toss them out.

There are so many ZR-1 owners that have the old take-offs that it would be sensible for NCRS types to look for a set in their own back yard. The cost for shipping would definitely exceed the value of the tires.

My original Gatorbacks are sitting in my garage attic. I've kept every part that I've taken off my 91', but I see no reason to have 4 unusable, (on the street), tires in storage.

The fronts are relatively fresh, but the rears have a few Qtr. miles on them:dancing. Any Florida waxer that wants them? bring a Benjamin.
