Yeah i was just thinkin that actualy for all i know there could be a hole in one of them. 350 seems to good to be true for a tire that would normallly cost 2000$ up here. Its probably more like 20% tread left. Well i guess its back to 1300$ for tires lol.

I just bought used BFG A/T for 250 mounted and balanced and they had over 50% tread left. Best 250 I spent. I don't see a problem getting used tires. You have to get them more often, but its just like buying a used car. Let someone else take the depreciation. I will still get 20000-30000 miles out of these tires and for 250, I couldn't go wrong.

if its more like 20% thread then i would just walk away right there. if you really want them, you are going to need to inspect them VERY closely
