A question on car tires, trading in snow tires specifically

I need snow tires, and I've got snow tires that were on my Kia Rio (now gone). I now have a Kia Spectra.
The tires that were on my Rio are size P175 70R13. The tires that are currently on my Spectra are size 195 60R15. Can I use my Rio tires (the P175 70R13s) on my Spectra? Will a shop take them off the Rio rims - btw, I already checked and the Rio rims don't fit on my Spectra - and put them on some Spectra rims?

What would be the best manner in which to convert (and by convert I mean trade in/sell the Rio tires) these snow tires for the Rio into snow tires for the Spectra? Do places like Costco or Firestone take trade ins? I've tried to sell a few things on CL, but I never get a response.
No place will take your old tires and 'trade them in'. Used tires are used tires, and aren't exactly a valuable commodity.
If the tires aren't that old and still have a substantial amount of tread left, you may be able to sell them on craigslist.
Closest thing you may be able to do is find a place that re-treads tires, but even then you probably wont get jack squat for them at a business.
