Used tractor tires

jacksonduper · Jun 18, 2011

I'm cleaning out a shed and I have 2 18.4 x 34 tires that would work good for dials I think. Two questions for you guys how do I tell how much tread is left. (25% 50% 75%). Second how much would they be worth. They are Goodyear tires. No rims.

Thanks for the help.

I just bought two 18.4x38 used tires from my tire dealer. They were $100 each, about 30 percent tread.

How to determine percent left? Kind of a judgement call, depends on how they are worn. Road miles will eat up the centers and still have half way decent outside edges.

If your 34's have been sitting for much time at all they are likely worth maybe $50 each. If recently removed might get $75 each, but I doubt it.

Labor to put them back on is a big factor. The tubes are going to be in the $65 to $75 range per tire plus the labor.

Put them on Craigslist, it is free, and see if you get any replies. I would take pictures, and ask $75 each or best offer. DOUG

I just gave away 2 18.4x34 Goodyears with 30% or better tread. Not something I wanted to store and it made another fella really happy. His old tires had cords showing and he is pretty tight for cash.

Sold a pair that I took off the 4020 this spring. Tread was about 15% or so, really no weather checking on one and minimal checking on the other. Got $100 for the pair, and both of us walked away happy.

a brand new 18.4x34 tire is $1000. if they had more than 30% i would put maybe $150 0n them. also depends on how rotted. if anything 10% or below just put them on cl for free. got rid of all my old tires in about 2 weeks. just have a bunch of small 10x20s that nobody wants. if they were 50% or better i would put $300. sold a couple of 20.8x38 for $400 with about 50%.

That size seems to be getting less common around here, so used ones are hard to find and new ones are expensive. If they're in decent shape, $150 doesn't seem unreasonable. If they're weather checked and the casing is separating like most Goodyears that I've seen, a little less then.

Hi Joe,
Where are you located?

Measure the tread depth at the center on the short bar... then compare as a percentage of the new spec. You'll find that in the tire data book. Most tire manufacturers have that online.

The short answer here is that an old GY Dyna Torque II is not worth a whole lot. Not even for duals. It's a great way to rattle your fillings out running those things down the road.
