Either me or my dealer are clueless on this…
I want to swap the tires on my incoming LC for 275s (instead of the original 265s). He quoted me a price for the new tires ($425/tire) which are actually 285s - which I don’t want). I responded that I should get a credit for the tires they’re getting from the vehicle when it comes to them. He asked me why I should get a credit. I explained the above to him and that other dealers do this.
He just replied that sadly, they are not other dealers and I would be getting two sets of tires if I want something different. Good grief!
So I’m wondering if discount tires would give a decent credit for the original set. Appreciate any advice.
 
Discount gave me $50 a tire. Better than nothing.
 
Try posting on Facebook marketplace, I’ve sold several sets of new and used tires over the years. You may be surprised what they’ll fetch.
 
I think this is normal. I didn’t get credit when I did this in my Tundra.
 
Very very very few dealers will give you credit for OEM tires. If you want something different pay the man/woman.
Happy to pay… for one set of tires. It’s just that I’ve seen other posts on this forum and others by people doing exactly what I wanted to do, so I’m sure it’s a little more common than “very, very, very few dealers.”
 
My dealer didn’t credit mine. Just offered to let me have them. 6 months from now they might be different but today they don’t have to deal.
 
That's not how it work. That's not how it ever works...
 
I priced at $300 to move them quickly and had six calls in one day. I'd say you could get $400. Discount has them new for $171 each.
 
Yes, the 1958 comes with smaller stock tires. My LC came with 265/70/18. Pretty standard tire size, so easy to sell.
 
Never heard of a dealer that would be willing to give you credit for take-off tires, however as others said the original tires should be very easy to sell.
