Doesn't seem too bad as long as they all have at least 75% and come with the rims. Besides, his asking price is $500, I'd say its negotiating time

i got the 5, four with rims and an unmounted spare, there all at least 80% and the rims are brand new. not sure how much i like them yet.... they dont stick out and im used to a few inches but we will see there smooth though and weigh like 20 less than my other ones.

Those tires not sticking out will keep the darn staters off your butt!!!! I know they don't look as cool as those Swampers you had on it but, these things have a lot more tread, too. So, when are we going on another Tahuya run to try out your new tires??? I need to test my new tires out over there, too. I was looking at my map of Tahuya. When we went there is a lot of that place that we didn't check out. We definitely need to go again.

I got a set of 33 inch Maxxis Bighorns.

Gotta get creative on how to get down there, again, with the Hood Canal bridge all torn apart. Hopefully it will be done soon. taking the Keystone ferry across to Pt. Townsend really saves me a lot of time and driving.
