Default what should I do with tires?

I just got 5 new mtr kevlar 35's!!! So now I have stock goodyear 17's with about 800 miles on them.... what should I do?

should I sell them? if so how much would I sell 5 with only 500 miles on them?

should I keep them?

sell them would be nice for some cash....

keeping them would be nice in case I ever want to get ride of 35's or take it back to stock... thoughts?

I enjoy putting fuel oil on old tires and starting one hell of a fire! (don't tell the EPA, shhhhhhhhhh)

Personally, I would keep them, but I don't have a dealership that is mod friendly. Extra money and free space is nice too. Tires take up lot's of room

Have mine as well and trying to decide what to do. They take up space in the garage, and I'm pretty sure I'll never use them again, but you never know how much worse things may get.

If I could get $250 for the set they would be gone! Maybe I should try to Craigslist them.

Save them and have yourself five very long lasting bonfires through the winter.

i have a set of 33's for my DD and 35" swamps for offroad... its nice to have a fuel efficient easier riding smaller set for vacations, road trips, daily commute.

a bit of a pain in the ass to swap them out... but as infrequently as I do it, its fine


if you sell them... I sold my X aluminum wheels seperately for 125 bucks and the 265 tires for 260.00 to some guy that was desperate for a set for a road trip.

the thing is with selling them as a set it the fact that not many vehicles run the 5x5 lug pattern. Most are still 5x4.5. I really dont know why jeep thought it necessary to change the lug pattern
