How can I get rid of these tires and a rim?

so I got a good tire that was never used, a used tire, and a used rim. I'm not really expecting a huge profit but the tire shops in my area said they don't allow selling and not even the car junkyard would take them. I would take it to the internet like FB market place but I don't think people really go to sites to get tires. especially when they are getting tires for their car and probably googling (whatever car model) tires and probably not used ones. these tires are for a GMC Envoy and other cars that fit. I could just take them to the dump but I would also like $100 dollars

Bruh what fantasy land do you live in where everybody buys brand new tires all the time? Tons of people buy used tires, its an entire industry. Put them up on marketplace, if they're in decent shape someone will take them eventually.

I just figured it would be easier going to a car junkyard and getting the a used tire there instead of the internet

Sell it on FBM.

People absolutely look on FB for used tires and wheels.... especially this season with all the potholes.
People are getting flats and bending wheels... And often don't want to go buy a complete set, they just want a replacement that loosely matches the rest

Post it on FB marketplace. Make sure you include as much info as possible with pictures. Wheel bolt pattern and size. What it came off of. Tire brand and size. If someone has the same vehicle with a cracked or curbed rim, they would definitely pay for a single wheel.

I was thinking for prices I could maybe do $75 for the good tire and the rim and was thinking maybe $40 for the used tire

If the new tire fits the rim, list it as a package for $125 and take the first $100 that comes your way.

You have to make a decision here, do you want them gone or do you want $100. Because the only way you’re getting $100 is trying to put them on marketplace and hope someone needs what you have. If you just need them gone, list them for free and someone will definitely remove them from your life.
