Do better tires have much of an effect on sale price?
I have two '06 F-150s, and am getting ready to sell one. Both are running stock XL rims with 245/70R17 tires. The one I intend to sell has an almost new set of low-end tires, and the one I intend to keep has a set of Wranglers that will easily pass inspection, but that's about it. My question is, in such a case, would swapping the old tires on to the truck for sale and keeping the newer tires typically affect the sale price much?
I know that some fleets swap older tires on to a surplus vehicle before it is sold for this reason, because the newer tires don't bring much in additional sale prices. Was hoping to get some feedback.
Thanks.

When I traded in my old truck, the "stealership" took $800 off my trade in for new tires. Some dealerships will charge and others won't. It also depends on what kind of tires are on the vehicle also. Btw I had 33" trail grapplers that were almost completely gone when I traded the truck in.

I'd swap the tires, but only so tat you have the new ones on the truck you'll be driving around. People don't know and don't care what brand the tires are. Most only look at tread, and that's all dealers care about too. The dealership I work at slaps the cheapest tires available on most of the time because it's most tread per dollar with those.
