I would like some new tires. I am running 33's now and would like to go to 35's if i find a deal. However, there are some Mickey Thompson Baja Claw tires on CL , 33", for $350 obo. portland.craigslist.org/clk/pts/1566042019.htmlThoughts on these? I would offer him less of course. I just cant afford new meats atm.

"20 to 30% tread left "
Maybe its just me, but I'd pass on any tire with only 20-30% tread left.
Thanks

you take one of these an you do this to a bald tire then you turn around an re-sale them for more or keep them an use them.

I personally think the best bang for your buck new or used is BFG. Great tire for off road, will last a long time and relatively inexpensive. I have run BFG for 15 yrs now and have always been impressed.

Save your Money Buy new. I bought the new wrangler MTs with kevlar ( 35x12.50x15 ) in april/may 09 for $889.00 at Goodyear in Milwaukie mounted and balanced. But the new BFGs are pretty sweet to if you can find them (they were back ordered 6 month when I was shopping). I know it sucks to wait but trust me its worth it.

OK, I found these and decided to give them a try. They are 35/12.5/15 Cooper STT. They were new with the tags still atatched. They are the old style that a lot of people like better. I am not sure why someone had these still new but for $500 I picked them up. I already took them for a run. So far I love them. I only went down to 12lbs because they are new but they preformed great.
