Default Fair price for stock rubicon tires???

I only have 600 miles on the jeep so far, what do you think a reasonable price to list them for would be? Quadratec has them new at $265 $250 is lowest I've seen elsewhere.

Thinking of putting a little bigger tire to go with my 4.10s.

hmm, I'm not sure I want to part with the black rims though. I can always post up on CL, I was thinking 1000-1100 for all 5 tires would be a good price? (5 new would be 1250 + either tax or shipping)

Best thing to do is to check your local CL to see what the tires are going for. Here in South FL there are tons of people selling these tires and tire/wheel packages for $400 to $700 range. I sold SRA's with wheels for $500 and bought Mountain Ed. takeoffs for $600.

I'm guessing tires only here would go for about $400 to $500. Don't think of it as what they cost new, but what the market price is, which takes into account how many other people are selling at the time and how much they are asking.

I bought a set of rubi rims and tires with 10k miles for $500 in good condition. I see a lot of take off going for around 500-750. I personally wouldnt pay more than $650 for a brand new set of take offs

Yeah, a local post on CL from 4/20 has 5 for $1000. with 500 miles on them.
Hmm, I don't want to get in a lower bidding war with him, maybe I'll email him and post mine after he sells his. LOL

I think he will have a hard time selling those for $1000. Give him a call in about a month to see how much he actually got... I'm guessing for tires only he probably got closer to $500. Also, if you check weekly, you might see that same seller dropping the price as the weeks go by.

I paid $850 for a set of five wheels/tires from a 2012 rubicon. They had 1500 miles on them.

I mounted tires can be a harder sell because the buyer will assume at least $125 install fee for a set of 5 to add to whatever they spend to get the tires.
