Basically what the title says

As in what sizes are most common? What is the minimum thread depth acceptable. Tube/tubeless. If you have any knowledge or advice about tyres for cars please dont hesitate to teach me. Thanks

Your best place for these answers would probably be the motor thread.

Attempting to resell something you have no knowledge of is a disaster waiting to happen! You should go to your local tyre shop and give someone €100 to give you a crash course. And then spend the next 6 months in the books and on Google. You'll need to know tyres inside out.

In addition, many European countries export part worn tyres (e.g. Countries that mandate winter tyres) for countries that don't change tyres as often (Irish motorists have no knowledge of tyres in my experience) and these are shipped literally by the container load. They are then broken down into categories and sold off by the importers.

Unless your going into this in a big way, I would not recommend entering the market. There are big players already established and there is very little margin.
