Cool prior to selling, new tires or not?

on the fence about selling the beast... tires aren't totally gone, but less than 1/2 - replace and sell? or sell as is?

Buyer will always like to have new tires, but the price he will offer you will be based on year and mileage

This is what, the third or fourth time you've thought about selling?

Buyers won't give you "credit" for having new tires, but they will try and beat you up for having worn tires. If I were you I'd leave them alone and use it as a bargaining chip. If they come at you with a price $2k below your asking price, you can counter with "OK, it does need tires soon so I'll give you $500 off my price" and go from there. That way they feel good and you don't have to do anything or spend any more money.
