Is this a good deal???

Found on CL...

Nitto Terra Grappler All Terrain 265/70/17 set of 4 off my 2018 4Runner. Tires have 18,500 miles. Tires are in great condition.

 

Free is always good.

 

Crap...sorry...$300.

 

Thanks for the good info.

 

Tires that are half worn will need to be replaced (all other conditions the same) twice as quickly as a new set of tires. There are transaction costs (and risks) associated with this, to wit: Mounting and balancing, and the potential for your tpms sensors / wheels to get damaged.

 

Does not sound like a good deal to me. It will cost you another $60-$80 to get them installed so your looking at just under $400 for tires that will likely need to be replaced in 20k miles or less. You could also run into balancing issues or other problems.

 

That’s exactly what I was thinking. The 18,500 miles was like.. .

Craigslist is the equivalent of an online garage sale. In theory, half life would equal half cost BUT no one knows how the tires were driven on.

OP- I’m sure someone would buy them for that price but not sure how long it would take. Honestly, I’d price them at about $200 just to get rid of them. Also I’d feel less like I might be ripping someone off at that price.

As long as you and the buyer are good with the price then that’s all that really matters.

 

I don't know about those Nitto's, but BFG's I've had in the past, the performance drops SIGNIFICANTLY after 50-60% treadwear.

I run the Terra Grapplers on my truck in a LT 285/75/16 and in 149k miles only used 2 sets of them.

I'm sure the P's don't last that long though.

 

Think I'd go the obo route and throw $200 down.

 

Maybe it's just me but I wouldn't buy used tires. Too many unknowns besides just looking at the tread.
