Help examining tires (KM2s)
I am trying to work out a deal on a used set of 33" (285/70/17) KM2s. The owner said he believes there are roughly 8,000 miles on 4 and the spare is brand new. I have requested that the owner measure the tread depth for me or send me a pic of each tire with a quarter in the tread so I can semi gauge the tread depth myself. However, I wanted to post up the pic that he sent me originally to see what you all thought they looked like. I'll be sure to post up the other photos when I receive them as well. Thanks!

Look good to me! Btw, they last amazingly if you keep up with rotating them. I have over 35k on my 33" km2's and the tread has held together wayyyyyy better than any other m/t I have run. I rotate every oil change. In my honest opinion, I will never go to another tire until they come out with the next version!!!

There is more than 8 k on those. The outside blocks are worn past the line on the tread. The third one down is worn down in the middle lugs past the lines also.

By looking at the picture, I'd say prob 10-12k. It's so hard to tell by a pic but when you go to the seller, bring a nickel and judge the tread of the new spare and the tires. If you look at my spare with the hairs on it and the everyday tires. There is a difference of, give or take 3-4cm. I would judge them like that and of course take into consideration how much you were "inconvenienced" to pick them up.
