pathfinder93x Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Im going to pick these up tomorrow... just wondering how much you guys think their worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KovemaN Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I recently picked up a set of 31x10.50-15 BFG A/Ts in similar shape for $100. I gave $200 for my last set of used 32x11.50-15 BFG A/Ts on black steel wheels. They had much better tread though. I hope that helps a little.

nunya Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 The picture on the right, looks like the one standing up and the middle one in the stack are not really that good through the center area... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathfinder93x Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) this they can last me a season or 2 at least? Edited May 28, 2009 by pathfinder93x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) Looks like they were overinflated, seems like they're at 20%-35% from the picture on the right. The pic on the left looks good though. Edited May 28, 2009 by Kingman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathfinder93x Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 i added some more pictures to show them off.... well i find it hard to find used 32s in canada... not as many offroaders in my region anyhow... and new ones go for 250$ + so i figured its a steal to find these ones (im trading my old cellphone for 250$ anyhow). As for rims anyone have suggestions for size... looking to get a black set of rims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) Yeah those look pretty decent. I'd give him $150-200 for all 5. If you get those, rim size depends on the size of the tire. Edited May 28, 2009 by Kingman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Yeah, well worn, yeah, overinflated. They are pretty worn (unevenly), who knows how they balance and you still have to pay for mounting, etc. this they can last me a season or 2 at least? How many and what kind of miles do you drive in a season? What size are they?? I wouldn't pay more than $40-50 per tire even if I was desperate.

Precise1 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Well then, if you need them to last you a hard summer or light year until spring to replace, then it might work. I'm picky about tires, it only takes one slide to cause serious damage... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 it only takes one slide to cause serious damage...B Exactly... Just so you know, I found that the BFG AT's I had slid easily on wet roads, until I had them siped, then they got pretty good traction or an AT. But that is not an option for those tires, they are to low (remaining tread) to effectively sipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathfinder93x Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 you think their that bad that theyll slide on pavement... they seem to have some thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoPathyGo Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I have new BFG ATs and they are NOT great on wet pavement. Just the nature of the tread design. The best wet tire I ever drove was this: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?ti...=Eagle+F1+GS-D3 And it has a unidirectional V tread, which is great to counter hydroplaning. Pumps water out like no one's business. As you can see, it uh looks nothing like the BFG tread. But it totally sucks at anything but rainy (not snowy or icy) conditions and dry pavement. Advantage BFGs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 No I didn't say that... I said that my BFG AT's slid a bit more than expected, not bad (for THIS type of tire ) just more than I figured they would. Both when they were new and when they had 10-20K miles on them. I was near the tire shop one day and decided to have them do the rotation for me. They looked at them and offered to sipe them for a fee... after wheeling and dealing we settled on FREE So I had them do it. It made a difference, a very noticeable difference.

In my *limited* experience with tires, I'd always go brand new. But for ~$180, what the hey... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
