Default How much are my stock tires worth?

I going to try and sell my stock tires with only 4,000 miles on them on craiglist. They are in very good condition with 70-75 percent thread left. The question is, how much should I sell these tires for?
Don't know if I can post this on this thread but I give it a shot.

Usually about $100 each, $150 if you find someone who really wants them. Used tires, even when relatively new, do not hold much value (IME).

One of the best ways to manage tire costs for HPDEs is to buy used tires in good condition, especially racing tires (slicks).

Post them individually on ebay as spare tires.

Here is a picture of my tires. I posted it on craiglist. Keep in mind the car is off from a brand new 2017 RCF. The tires have around 6,000 miles on them.
the rear tires look to be good in good condition? I posted it on craigslist but the person is asking a discount cause it seems to be worn out a lot? My friend who works at the tire shops said it is in good condition. Hoping to get $500 from all 4 tires, good price? First is the front, the 2nd is the rear tire pictures.

Put a tire tread gauge in the groves and take a side profile picture to show. Also to include the MANUFACTURER DATE CODE.

See this thread for how to photograph your used tires:

Indisputable tread depth and date codes.

This reminds me that I need to take some photos of my 4 OEM tires from my RCF when I switched to Michelin all seasons tires back in November last year. The OEM tires are just sitting around gathering dust and I don't think I will ever remount them when summer rolls around. I'll just keep my current all seasons on my RCF. I find the all seasons tires to do well overall and year round.

Thanks guys for the information! I called Fedex and they want about $250 to ship to an address? Guess it is best to sell locally?

FedEx and UPS used to have tire rates. They don't anymore, so shipping makes zero sense.
