Default FMV for used 19" Staggered Kumho Ecsta SPT Tires?

I bought the following in March for my staggered 19"s (8.5f, 9.5r):

235/35R-19 Kumho Ecsta SPT
265/30R-19 Kumho Ecsta SPT

I just switched back to 18"s, so I won't need these any longer. Tread depth is great. One rim protector has a cut, but all are sound. No patches, etc.

How would I establish the value of slightly used tires?

Default I use 50% of current retail to start, then pro-rate based on remaining % of tread

So a tire with a current average retail price of $179 with 85% of it's original tread would be worth $76. (179)(.50)(.85)=76.

Not a perfect formula, but seems to work for tires with more than about 60% left. Tires with less than 60% left are worth much less.
