    I've been looking for some tires ,wanting to get some MT or a aggressive AT . I was about to pull the trigger on GY Duretracs, when I came across a ad for some used 265/70/17 BfG KM2's for sale $800 . I farted around for a week then I decided to go look at them. The guy had them on his Jeep, he wanted some 315's instead , never been off-road (I don't think he knows how to put in 4x4), he said they had about 1000 miles on them, they look brand new ! We negotiated for about 5 min, I ended up leaving with them for $600. So Good Deal or Bad Deal ?

    Talk to us after you try to balance them. I'll never buy used tires again. That being said, price was right.

    Looks pretty close to 20/32", I'd say you got a good deal.

    image.jpgInstalled the tires and wheels today, they balanced fine the most one took was 2.5, the rest was in between 1-1.5 , tested them out drove nice and straight , no drifting, on gravel they grip well, on pavement bite pretty good , I went threw a couple of small ditches, tires cut threw ,and cleaned up while in water, noisy on pavement ,but expected out of a MT.
