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.
