How it works
How TireTrader Works
For buyers
- 1
Search
By size, vehicle fitment, brand, or city.
- 2
Compare
Every listing shows tread depth, DOT age, condition, and a fair-price signal — you're comparing real data, not guesswork.
- 3
Message the seller
Built-in messaging, no phone number required to start. TireTrader flags off-platform payment requests as a scam risk.
- 4
Inspect and pay in person
Meet the seller, check the tires yourself, and pay them directly when you're satisfied.
For sellers
- 1
List
Size, brand, tread depth, DOT year, photos.
- 2
Get found
Buyers search your exact fitment — no burying your listing under furniture and video games.
- 3
Talk to real buyers
Built-in messaging; your seller rating builds as you sell.
- 4
Sell direct
Meet up, get paid, no marketplace cut.
An honest, in-person model
TireTrader is the marketplace and trust layer — structured listings, messaging, ratings, and scam warnings. It is not an escrow or guarantee service. Buyers inspect in person and pay the seller directly, same as any trustworthy local deal — we just make it easier to find the right one.
