So my buddy is selling his wrangler and he wants to know if I want the 31's off of it. They are 31 x 10.50 x 15 genaral grabber AT's still a decent amount of tread on them. He is selling them with the wheels which are made by eagle alloy and there a soft 8 type pattern.

He wants 500 for all 4 tires with wheels. What do you guys think. I took some pics but there kinda crappy.

Overall




Tread




Back side of rim

Where I live, that's a bit high, too...

If I were you, I'd check local craigslist to do some comparison shopping...and you can use it to leverage your friend, so you can negotiate a fair price for you both!

Remember, every dollar you save can be put into your next XJ improvement project!

Of course, if he's your best friend and he's hurting for $, and you're doing OK, the right thing to do is help him out.

Depending on the amount of tread left I dunno..The wheels new are about $100 a piece and the tires new are about $110 a piece. So that's about $800 new so depending on the over all condition of the tires and wheels it could be a decent price ...but I wouldn't pay more then about $400 at the top end..

$400 would be reasonable. I just picked up a set of 30x9.50x15 Dean mud terrain SXT's with 90% tread on stock 06 wrangler steel wheels for $250.
