Used Tires Wholesale: How to Buy Used Tire Pallets That Sell
August 28, 2026
What to look for when buying used tires in bulk — tread depth, DOT age, grading and how to price them for resale.
Why used tires are profitable
Used tires cost a fraction of new tires and sell fast to budget-minded drivers. A well-graded pallet can return 2–3x its cost.
Tread depth matters most
Buy tires with at least 5/32" of tread. Tires with 7/32" or more sell at premium used prices.
Check the DOT year
Avoid tires over six years old. Our used pallet manifests list the DOT year of every group of tires.
Inspect for repairs
Reject tires with sidewall plugs, bulges or exposed cords. We remove these before packing every pallet.
