BFG MT's KM2 285/75R17 vs BFG AT's KO 285/70R17?

Which would you guys get?

As you all know...I frequent trails about once every couple months. And the Jeep is a Daily Driver.

One is just slightly taller than the other. So I would go with that one

Dave...this might be a question for you...since you are all over Craig's list.

I only have about 9k miles on my Goodyear Wrangler SR-A's (255/75R17) and I'm looking into replacing them this week. What would be the best way of getting rid of them for some $$? Does anyone buy used tires? Does discount tire pro-rate exchange? Sell them on Craig's list?

Or am I just SOL and throw them away?

I'm on craigslist everyday. I see alot of SRAs for sale on craigslist. they tend to go for around $250-400 or so from what i've seen.. you could ask more, but i got a pair of rubi take offs (wheels and tires) with only 9k miles for $500 so not sure if you could sell at that price

I'm a pro when it comes to Craigslist. My wife doesn't understand how I do it. Just last month my Mother in law was wanting to sell their Polaris quads. She had them listed for almost a full year in news papers, etc. I sold them within a week and made $1000.00 for commission. If you need help, send me a PM.

Thanks Jason! (you know my new KM2's will be going on your old stockies )

Once I get the SRA's dismounted and post an add on Craig's list, I'll forward you the link so you can make any suggestions to improve my odds at selling those tires!

If you do post them on craigslist just make sure you add as many keywords in the post as possible.. Tires,wheels, jk, jku, rubicon, jeep,wrangler,rims...ect
I see alot of people who post up stuff such as rubicon springs/shocks such as the ones i just bought and the only jeep related word is rubicon so adding those extra keywords tend to help alot when people are searching
