Should I get these used tires or save up and get a new set?

Howdy!

I did a 2/1 leveling kit (ill post installation video soon to fish for some views) and the stock tires kind of bug me, but my cheap a** does not want to drop coin for a new full set.
Would this be worth getting over my current stock tires (3months old, does a great job off-roading for my level)

I can get these installed and balanced for $200
I don't know a whole lot about tires but visually it looks like KO2s with maybe 50% life left on it, Its 265/75R16 and my current stock tires are 265/70R16 Goodyear Wrangler

 

$200 for four tires mount and balanced? At 50% dude do it

Wait... actually dont tell me where they are I will dispose of them for you

 

Yeah.....for $200 mounted and balanced I don't think you can go wrong....you get 25,000 on those tires and it's a hardcore win!!

 

Check the date code on the tires?

 

Sweet thank you guys, Ill get these on Friday and I go off-roading at Hungry Valley on Saturday so Ill post some pics/videos and thoughts about the the difference I feel as a beginner off-roader.

 

I read this in another form too, ill check it out on Friday. If Im not mistaking if its 3 digits its prior to 2000 and 4 digit is week and year?

 

no idea about pre-2000. 4 digit is week and year.

 

Sweet thank you, Ill look at it on Friday and if its within last 5 years I think I should be good. At least according to google lol

 

Didn’t get the tires , they did have about 50% life on them but it looked very cracked and dry in person (no sure if I got bait & switched) I got turned off that I didnt even check the dates. Ohh well I'm still ok the hunt for some used 265/75R16 or 255//85R16….the chase continues!

 

Be careful about used tires from arid regions.

 

Dude, great price and all. But, just buy new tires. It’s the one thing on your truck that actually touches the ground. No amount of sensors, new tech, or fancy shocks will impact the safety of your truck as much as... your tires.

 

True, Im just being impatient to upgrade tires but ill be smart about it and use current ones. They have not failed me and handled everything at my level perfectly

 

generally I'd steer away from used tires since tires are very important and i wouldnt bet on my life with unknowns just to save a few bucks, but this here is very cheap. I'd still proceed with caution though...

 

Shop Craigslist, FB Marketplace, etc. Hell, deals can be had on eBay as well.

 

Making a decision on purchasing USED tires from just a photograph is very foolish thing to do....................

 

Agreed, it looked nothing like the pic when I went and saw it in person. Should have taken a pic, I’m guessing they sold this set and maybe had another (much more used) set laying around.

Great feedback everyone, very much appreciated. Ill hold off and just buy a new set.
