Will New Tires Increase the Trade-In Value of Your Car?

No doubt – there are a lot of ins and outs when you trade-in your car, truck, or SUV and upgrade to your dream car. Many car owners want to know how they can maximize the trade-in value of their vehicle and we can help. When it is time to pull the trigger, Bergstrom of Green Bay is the place to be and we want to help you get the most bang for your buck when you trade your vehicle in.

Are the tires on your car, truck, or SUV a little worn? Do you have more than a few miles on your vehicle? Your tires play an important role in the trade-in value of your vehicle and high-quality tires can help maximize the value of your trade-in – but is it a necessity? Yes AND No. When you trade in your vehicle, it is important to check the overall condition of your tires. Check the tread depth, look for uneven wear patterns, and ensure there are no cracks or splits in your tires. 

When your tires have uneven wear patterns or a tread depth below 2/32 of an inch – they are no longer safe and the money spent on new tires will most likely be reflected by an increase in the trade-in value. When your tires are that worn, it is a smart investment to replace the tires on your trade-in. If your tires have more than 2/32 of an inch of tread and have an even wear pattern, it is important to weigh the cost of a brand-new set of tires against how much it may gain you in trade. If your tires are in decent shape, it may not be smart to spend the money on new tires.
