That sounds like a fair price assuming they are in good condition as you say. That's easily $900 and probably $1000 worth of tires when new. You have the advantage of knowing your buddy and what he did with the tires before you get them. Another person and I might say a bit less.

they ended up being kM 1s but, they have over half the tread left, and one spare tire was brand new. so we went 375. got the tires, now to find the right wheels!

If I remember correctly the Rubicon BFG MT's are a sorta variant of the old KM design. They aren't the new KM2 style. Not the same as the old KM's though.

The special, only made in 255/75R17 size for the Rubicon, BFG MT KM that is on 2007+ Jeep Rubicons:

What I was saying is that they are probably correct Rubicon BFG MT KM's. They have that third style tread and not the original KM or KM2 if you were expecting either of those. Look for the "hook" in the center tread blocks.
