....One factor not mentioned is the cost of disposing the old tires. I was thinking about taking them to a auto tire place but don't know if it would be any cheaper just paying at the dump/ recycle center.

One part of being a tire dealer (at least in Kansas) is having to dispose of tires in a specific manner. You have to take them to an state funded recycling drop off. There is a list of places available to the public. I will be taking my old tires to a place that has big machines that chew up the old rubber and turn it into playground material. Anyone can take tires to this place, it just costs an individual a little more then a dealer. I would expect a couple of bucks per tire if you pulled up with two tires and wanted to drop them off. The local land fill, which is also authorized by the state, wants $7 per tire reguardless if you are a dealer or not!!
