Default Trying to figure out an asking price for my Duratracs

I'm moving up to 37's and I have my 315/70-R17 Goodyear Duratracs (5) that I need to sell. They have about 12K miles on them and have been 5 tire rotated 3 times. They are almost perfect with very little wear and no offroad use (I work too much). They still have the rubber prongs that you see on new tires. I baby my ride and all the accessories.

What do you think they're worth? They sell for over $1500 new for 5.

Just sold the same ones with about 6k miles on them. I got $1100. They were posted for about two days. I'd say that would be a fair price given the mileage on yours. Start at $1200 and see what happens.

Did you use Craig's List or the forum?

Posted on a couple forums. They're a popular tire, shouldn't have any trouble selling them. The guy who bought mine drove 5 hours to pick them up from me.

Looks like you have the same setup I'm going for with the 37 Kevlars (minus the beadlocks). I'm buying Poison Spyder narrow fenders next week so I don't have to go higher than the 2.5" Teraflex lift I have on now. I've been told that I shouldn't have any rub with the new fenders. My wheels are 17x9 with 4.5 BS. Anything I should beware?

Fenders won't be an issue so long as you adjust your bump stops (buy some adjustable bump stops). You'll likely have some issues with rubbing while turning. 4.5" of back space probably won't be enough. If you don't have rear adjustable arms, you'll need to remove a good amount of the pinch seam.

I have Currie front LCAs, but none in the rear. I'll look into those. I'll get with the program on the bumpstops.
I'm hoping I don't have to put spacers on again. I really didn't like riding with them on the stock wheels...

I'll get a picture tomorrow at full turn. I have exactly 2.5" of lift in the front. you may or may not rub the control arm. Every Jeep is different and you won't know until you put them on. You can always limit your steering a bit.

If you off-road a lot, you'll probably want spacers. You'll want around 3.5" of back space to avoid clearance issues.
