I need new tires since mine are all old and cracked and one of them isn't holding air too well anymore. Should I get these? Would they last awhile since my jeep is a dd and only hits dirt every so often?

Uh, yeah. One of those tires new is nearly 200 bucks. Basically half off right there, and 5k is hardly any use.

Go get them before someone else does.

Yep, just check the DOT code and make sure they aren't too old.

Do you think the lug pattern is the same as the jeeps? And what would be wrong if the dot is too old?

If you can call him and see what kind of truck they were on, check this chart:

Lots of Fords had the 5x4.5 bolt pattern. Backspacing might be weird though.

My dad is scared that i'm going to be rubbing like crazy if I get this tire, since the tires I have now are 32x10.5R15 and these are 1 inch wider. If the backspacing is weird could I throw on some wheel spacers to compensate for the width?

Do you rub with your current tires? For that low price even if the rims didn't work out I would just have them remounted on to your current rims. I just bought a set of 4 bfg at's 30x9.50x15 for about $700 before the hazard warranty

Yes, only when I turn left since my wheel is a little off or if I turn quickly leaving a parking lot where there's a driveway dip down thing. So nothing major. Now if i were to cut my fenders I wouldn't rub at all! Which I plan on doing this summer.
And $700 for four!?!?? That's harsh! Aren't the only about $150 a tire?
