Default Need opinion on Nittos

I have come across a great deal on a set of Nitto Terra Grapplers. They are at a tire store, and were put on a Ford. He drove for 200 miles, and had to come back in and have them replaced because they rubbed. The tire store is now selling them at a very reduced price off their used tire rack. They are the exact size I want, and at $170 a tire, seem to be a good bargain (and I think I can talk them down a little more too). Anyone have any experience with these? I know they are an all-terrain, though they don't look as aggressive as most other AT's in my opinion. I'm currently running BFG All-Terrains.

I have priced them out at around $180-$190 at most of the places in this town that carry them. I paid about $245 a tire for my BFG's, so this seems like a pretty good deal to me if they are a decent tire. I don't really need tires yet, but I can just store them till my current tires are done.

My friend just bought a set for his F150 about9 months ago. He's put about 15k pavement miles and probably 100 mud miles, and they've worn down pretty good. I'd say they're at about 30-40% tread left...

That doesn't seem like very good mileage.

Ok its obvious im not a pro on vehicle maintenance but I do work in retail and anything used should automatically be 50% off, them knocking only 10-30 bucks off is bull****, and from wht it sounds like the tire sucks so tell them you give them half of what they want and be firm,

Its off the grappler subjuect but i was running Nitto Extremes 404 and they lasted well over 50,000 miles without incident would probably still have them if they werent slashed so try and haggle the price a little bit more...

nitto is actually a really good tire, every one has there own opinions but i have had good experiences with them and every one i know who has them like them, they preform well off road and their road wear might not be the best but its not the worst

Yeah that sounds way too expensive for a set of used tires to me. I don't care if they are barely used. I don't know if I'd say they should be 50% of original cost but I think they should be a lot cheaper than they are. If they are $180 new I'd pay a max of $150 per tire.
