Question

anyone know how I could find the value for a Jeff Gordon used tire is that I have? I have the certificate of Authenticity that reads..

"Winston cup souvenirs of mooresville hereby certifies that the tire provided with this document was used by: Hendricks Motorsports. The Good Year Raciang Division identifies it as from the car driven by Jeff Gordon" Signed by president and dated april 26, 1977..

I have tried doing open searches on the net for it and search on eBay and cant realy find anything that can help me..

Any thoughts, suggestions..

Thanks in advance for any and all info!

Answer 1

Jeff Gordon was 6 years old in 1977!!!

Actually in April of 77' he'd have only been 5, his birthday's in August..

Answer 2

I'm assuming 1977 was a typo. Given that, the value of the tire would depend on wether it had a beer can embedded. LOL Although, now that I think about it, that would probably make it worth significantly more. As far as your original question, try contacting Goodyear. Have the lot # and all the rest written down to help ID the tire. Or list it on eBay for awhile and see what's offered. No law says you have to sell.

Answer 3

$37

Answer 4

They sell those tires at the end of each race for around 5 bucks.  But it is only worth what someone else is willing to pay.  My brother got a tire that was run on Rusty Wallice's car after the NAPA 500 in California.  Once he was moving into this condo, when they were all having a mass garage sale.  He had that tire sitting out on the porch, and people were coming up and asking about it.  He told them they could have it for 500 bucks, and they acted like they were willing to pay that much...but they just did not have that kind of money.  He was amused but the whole situation, because there is no way that tire was worth that much...but there are a lot of suckers out there.

Answer 5

I had a  Dale Sr. tire after a race at martinsville 1998.  I bought it for $10 then.  It was cool...for awhile...I had it in the den/game room with a table top on it.  After awhile it was just a tire, took up space and wasn't that big of a deal anymore.  After moving it to the garage I finally gave it away and it is still in their garage hanging on the back wall.  

To find out what it is worth you might have to put it up on EBAY.  If you don't really want to sell it put a high reserve price on it...like $1,000.  Trust me, no one will bid that high.  What will happen is that you may get people bidding on it and the last bid is what it would be worth.  I do this with some items myself.  Never did anyone reach my high reserve price.

Answer 6

look on ebay

Answer 7

better give it back to Gordan before he starts to cry

Answer 8

I bought a Earnhardt tire back in 94 for $20 at Charlotte....so about that unless its signed , more with certificate of authenticty

Answer 9

I hope you meant to type 1997.......otherwise that tire is totally bogus. And if one attends a race and have pit passes or a garage pass, they could get one themselves. I have seen people selling them on eBay for like $20
