Default Goodyear EMT question

i am selling 2 245/45 x 17 Goodyear run flats with 6/32 on them. I have been offered $100. for the pair. I think I will send them to the scrap yard first. What are they worth, or am I out to lunch on this ?

Thanks Al

6 years on your car, or date stamped 6 yrs old? if your car is 6 yrs old, there's at least a chance they are 7-8 yrs old and shouldn't even be considered safe to install

$100 probably isn't too bad for a pair of half used Goodyear EMTs.
