This may not really fit this forum but wasn't sure where else to post.

I'm getting new wheels and tires tomorrow and intend to sell my stock wheels and tires. Should I ask the shop to put the tires back on the wheels or leave them off?

Which way would be easier to sell?

I would personally keep them, you never know when you have a blowout, its better to have atleast a full size spare....ya know?

Probably easier to sell them as a wheel and tyre package... installed, balanced, and ready to bolt on.

The won't take the stock tires off of the stock rims unless you ask them to.

They will if they need to get to the tire pressure monitor sensor.

True, forgot about that. But at some places it's cheaper to get new sensors than to pay for the labor of taking the tires off. At least in my area. The sensors seem fairly cheap.

Thanks for the inputs. I had them move the TPMS sensors to the new wheels and take the tires off the rims.

Now, to sell them on the other forum.

Sensors usually cost a minimum of $50 EACH (from what I have seen)...Wow!!! If in your area it's cheaper to get new sensors than to pay for the labor of taking the tires off, you must live in China!! :clap:

My local tire shop quoted me $5 a piece.
