Default Need help pricing some Drag Radials!

Ok so I am really thinking of selling my car so I got some more/new tires and have some M/T Drag Radials to sell. They are still pretty new with plenty of thread left. I daily drive them, I have only launched on them maybe 3-4 times and I have only had one pass at the track with them.

What do you think they are worth?

Only have two (2)
Less than 4000 miles
stock size 275/40/17


This is a picture of what they look like, but I will get a picutre of them once I take them off this weekend, and have a sale price for them.

This is not a sales thread, I know I have to have a price I just dont know what to sell them for!

I need tires, but I am trying to get away from drag tires. The E/T Streets are beating me down as of late.

Yeah man these MT drag radials wear down so quick with any type of driving, you'll probably take a bit of a hit on them.

You could always list them FS and OBO. Good luck!

you can patch a drag radial as long as the sidewall isn't damaged. It is a radial tire. You cannot repair ET Street (non-radials) safely though, for those you just stick in a tube.

Just let the buyer know they are patched.

I'd say $100 a tire for used tires like those, since they tend to wear quickly even with minimal miles/use.

I also paid $340 out the door for mine new. However, after 9k miles and 22 track passes, I sold them for $125/pair and they had probably 3/8 tread left. Id get the one fixed, inform the buyer of the patch, and ask $200 for the pair.
