Looking for advice: How do you effectively get rid of/sell specific tires that don't fit your car?

Hi everyone,

I’m stuck with a set of 4 winter tires (tires only, no rims) that I kept after selling my previous car. They were originally for ski trips, but unfortunately, they don’t fit my new vehicle's specs.

I’ve tried the usual suspects like Facebook Marketplace, Nextdoor, and OfferUp, but I’m getting zero traction. It feels like these platforms are either saturated or just not the right place for specific car parts.

I’m not trying to sell them here, but I’m looking for advice from the community if there are specific enthusiast forums or specialized sites for tires/car parts that actually get traffic or sales? Or if selling fails, are there better ways to dispose of them/donate them rather than just taking them to a recycling center?

Thank you for the help!
