Why buy salvage tires?
As obvious as it may seem, a very high percentage of the units we bring in for salvage have tires and rims that are suitable for resale. Still, too many people overlook the salvage option when shopping for tires.
The most common misconception people have about salvage is that salvage parts are 'junk' - especially those on high houred units. The truth is that, especially on high houred units, many of the common replacement parts have been replaced already and therefore have a fraction of the total unit hours on them.
The same goes with tires.
Tires are a common replacement part. Salvage units will, more often than not, have respectable tires on them suitable for re-sale. Used tires can be purchased:
- As tires alone
- Mounted on rim (when available still mounted on rim)
- As sets (when sets are available)
Determining the condition of a used tire
Tires aren't just judged by tread life. Several variables are considered:
- Facial checking
- Stubble Wear
- Tread life and condition
- Cracking (facial and wall)
- Bead condition
- Ply rating
- Bias / Radial
- Make and Model
