Guy was lucky to get $850.
They're used tires. You'll have a hard time convincing most thinking people to pay most of what a new set of tires cost for tires that don't come with a warranty or a shop to go back to and yell at people when something goes wrong.
Not to mention unless they can do it themselves or know a guy at a shop or something they have to pay for mounting and balancing. Lately shops are wanting a fair chunk to do that for tires and wheels they didn't sell you. Add at least another $100 for doing that.
You start asking too much and people will price out new tires and figure for a couple hundred more they can have the warranty and store experience. They start looking at other sizes and other styles and further talk themselves out of yours.
There's a guy on my local CL with a set of stock Sport 16's and 225/75R16 Goodyear ST's. Practically new off a '12 he hasn't sold them after dropping $150 from $400 over the past few months.
Meanwhile another guy has a set with something likes 20,000 miles on them from a few years ago and he's asking $650! He'll be there forever.
You have to be realistic.
Same BFG KM ish tread as the earlier JK Rubi's.

Most of the take offs I've seen on here were the BFG Km's that came on the pre-2012 Rubis. Most sold wheels and tires together anywhere from $750 to $1000 on average (yes, I said wheels and tires...not just tires). I forget what the 2012's come with (MTR's??) but I am guessing you aren;t going to get much more for them on a forum. You might do better on Craigslist or something like that.

Posted mine at $900 and had no bites (except for a few low ballers). Dropped it to $850 and interest jumped. Sold local off CL to a guy for $800. Seemed like a fair price. Could I have made more if I waited? Maybe, but I just wanted them gone and if it helps out a fellow jeeper great!

CL can be tough, most want something for nothing on there. When we traded the wife's vehicle in, I kept the expensive 18" chrome wheels and new tires with 2k miles on them. Listed them on CL for $600, which was a good bargain considering new the combo runs over $1300. No bites, I listed them on and off for a year before finally deciding I was tired of storing them in the garage. Listed them for $350 and sold them within 24 hours. If you want to move something on CL, it's gotta be cheap.

how much would you all say is a fair price to offer a buddy for 1 year old - probably 10-12k miles stock rubi km2s. 255/75/R17. NO RIMS, just the tires. 4 tires are a year old, 1 tire is brand new.
450?
here's a shit pic of tread, it looks pretty solid, plenty of tread (i think), he's rotated them properly, and there siped.
