  2. Oklahoma tire dealer used-tire take-back (Oklahoma Used Tire Recycling Act)State program · OklahomaOpen to everyoneConditions apply$1–$10
    How it works

    Oklahoma tire dealers collect a state used tire recycling fee on each tire they sell ($2.90 for car and light-truck tires). A dealer may not charge any extra fee to handle a used tire the fee was paid on, and if you keep your old tires the dealer must give you a receipt to bring them back later. DEQ-approved recyclers collect the tires from dealers.

    Cost & rules
    Fees
    State used tire recycling fee, per new car or light-truck tire bought (rim 19.5 in or less)$2.90
    State fee, per larger tire bought (rim over 19.5 in, tread 12 in or less)$5.50
    State fee, per wide tire bought (rim over 19.5 in, tread over 12 in)$10
    State fee, per motorcycle tire bought$1
    • When you buy tires, the dealer may not charge any extra fee to take the used tires the state fee was paid on.
    • If you keep your old tires, ask for the receipt: it lets you bring them back to that dealer later.
