Tire casing credit?

Sounds about right.

If you have farmers in your area who buy them for their wagons or whatever ask what they will buy them for. Or you could even see what recap cost is, do that, then try to sell on your own. Lot of work for small difference in $ though.

Could have switched tires on new flatbed with the rental. If you wanted to run them down to 2/32.

 

Not much casing value these days. Our guy will only take “A” 22.5 talls. No 24.5 or 22.5 low profile.

I think we get $30 also. I think a good quality recap gets a bit of a raw deal over a China tire.

 

Where do you guy's find tire shops that give casing credits? Every time I've mentioned it in my town I'm looked at like I've got 2 heads. They wanted $10 a piece to take them. I gave them to a random guy with a dump truck to save the $40 for disposal..

 

I wish I could get some used virgins.

 

LoL, Used virgins.. Now there's an oxymoron if I've ever heard one..

 

That's about all your going to get. If the tire is over 3 years old(date stamped on DOT) the recapping plant will not take it if they have any standards.

 

Casings have always been a crap shoot. Whatever size tire l have is wrong it seems like lol;( although once in a while you get lucky. Around here a lot of dump/vocational trucks used to use 22.5 recaps on the drives. They've gone to offshore tires because caps have gone up so high in price. That hurts the casing value of 11r22.5. Last time l got a good price for 11r24.5 casings they supposedly they went overseas. I grabbed the money and ran lol

 

Same here. They won't buy casings, but sure want me to have them cap the casings I have. I really sense that the demand for caps has really dropped.

I know I won't run caps, but I won't run cheap Chinese, either. Ever since I went to premium tires, my problems with irregular wear and blowouts went away.
