Question Deal or No Deal?

Ok guys I have a friend who is selling his wheels and tires and has offered them to me at a great price but I don't know if its worth it. He has black 15" soft 8's with 35" x 12.50" pro comp mud terrain tires, he has offered them to me for $500. They are on his XJ that has a 5x4.5 bolt pattern but I have found spidertrax wheel spacers that will convert my 5x5 to 5x4.5. He says his only had them for a few months and used them only for mudding but I believe he bought them used. I do most of my driving on the road, and didn't know how well this ride and the noise quality, so is this a deal or not? Also if you have these tires your feed back will be great.

it depends on couple of things. ask him what % there is left on the tread, ownership time is not a good indicator of tire life. you are buying a mudd tire so its going to be louder than an AT. Though you are getting better off-road performance.Also i dont know what sieze tire your running now but if your running stock 32 or smaller than there is a whole bunch more to consider. the price is good if the tires are in good shape.

1st. If you say it's a great deal then jump all over it.
If you say it's a great deal them snatch them up.

2nd. Just take a ride with h
And see how they ride and sound, way too
Easy. Maybe I'm overthinking but it sounds
Like a no brainer to me
