I have never gotten much service out of the apparently fresh old tires....they always shift the belt or throw the tread.
So I always lay these pristine old tires aside and keep them until I sell the car and then I advertise, factory original spare, never on the ground.
People seem to like that stuff.
I never use them though.
I agree if you cannot afford decent tires you should park the car or sell it.

LOL!
I have some marketing ideas.....basic. When possible have the car in tip top condition so you have nothing to apologize for, then clean and wax the bejesus out of it and when advertising of course emphasize the positive but if there are negatives point them out up front. And in todays world a heap of pictures being sure to show the drivers slide in point on the seats.
And slip in one of those pristine factory spares with the white powder on them too!
