opinon of BFG 31 AT KO used tire and rim purchase

Properly rotated, these can last more than 75K miles. Before you buy, look for uneven wear. Measure the average remaining tread depth to see how far gone they are. They start with 16.5 in/32nds.

BFG rubber is relatively hard and it can get progressively harder as the treads erode. This is how they get great mileage, but it means that the performance benefit of softer rubber decreases as the life span is approached. Consider this when negotiating a price relative to percentage of tread wear. If you can get your hands on a durometer, compare hardness with a new tire (at similar temp).

Be careful. Unless you know the seller very well, you have no idea where they've been or how they've been treated.

They should have a 50,000 mile lifespan if they've been treated properly.

If those tires already have 30k miles on them, I would guess that they are about 60% worn down. Also, the last half of the tread life gives you substantially less traction than the first have of the tread life.

Oops, should have read "first half."

I do a 5 tire rotation every other oil change, or at about 6000 miles. Perfect wear on all 5 tires. NO WAY will you get 100K miles out of a set of BFG ATs!

Maybe he meant 100 kilometers?

Miles. Obviously, anything over 90K miles is exceptional, but look at the customer reviews at

Thanks for the advice.

I cant afford new tires and these come with 01 TJ canyon rims. Tires have been rotated in a 5 tire rotation.

So I think Im going to make an offer on them as they look to be in great shape and will probally rot off the rims before I wear them out as I put only 2K tops on my rig a year. May be able to get tires and rim for way less than a set of new tires.

You will be happy. KH
