There really isn't a market for them in their intended use. I won a race this year because I was on new Hoosiers and the 2 gents faster than me in the dry were on Goodyear rains. There is video evidence of how the two compare when I blow by one of them in between NASCAR 1 and 2 at Fontana. The car on Goodyears looked unstable even at lower speeds where I could run WOT without a worry.

The other two suggestions seem much more effective.

Can't believe what sells out there sometimes. Just sold 3 well used 20" rims and tires on Craigslist. Came on a project car and didn't want to pay to dispose of them. Craigslist solved the problem in a couple of days.

So I'll bet GT and prod guys with 13-inch rims would be quite interested in those tires. That's probably where you'll get your best price.
