What to do with the remaining four tires after changing tires?

You can give away the car tires if someone needs them. Alternatively, you can sell them as scrap, but the price is usually low. Car tires are quite expensive, so don't discard them carelessly. If you don't need them immediately, you can keep them as spare tires.
There are many ways to handle old tires that have been replaced. I once helped a friend dispose of four old tires. First, check the tire condition: if the wear isn't severe and the tread is still deep, cleaning them and selling them on second-hand platforms is a good option—budget-conscious car owners often need affordable spare tires. If the tires are heavily worn, the easiest solution is to take them directly to a recycling point, as auto repair shops or environmental stations will accept them to be repurposed into materials like rubberized running tracks or crash barriers—don’t discard them carelessly to avoid polluting the environment. If you don’t have time to handle it yourself, contacting local charities for donations is another option, as driving schools or farms sometimes take them for training equipment. As a last resort, you can DIY them into garden planters or pet toys—it’s quite fun. I’ve even seen a neighbor turn tires into swings, and the kids loved it.
