Default Are These Tires Worth $200

So I was scanning through my local craigslist and found these 4 32x11.5 tires
I wanted to ask everyone if they look like they are worth $200, and see how long they would last

They are at least 5 years old since those are no longer made. If one blows you won't be able to find a matching tire. Look to be less than half tread so I'd say no.

side shot of tread and brand?
used tires are a dime a dozen around here on craigslist so I'm pretty picky and cheap when it comes to buying them used. Paid $100 for mine, though lucky for me I work at a dealership so it doesn't cost me anything to mount and balance my tires.

It's hard from those camera angles to see how deep the tread is.

If the tread is at least 70% I'd pay $200 for it.

I payed $150 for a set of 33x12.5 km1's and they're over 5 years old. 60% tread and they're holding up well enough. $130 for the set you're looking at or I'd hold out for some 33's

Agreed offer $125- $150. I bought 33x12.5 15 pro crap for 200 with about 65% tread over the summer There down to about 15-20 % now. They really suck. But those Goodyear old style mtr I always hear good things about.

I paid 40bucks for a much better set. Granted it was a steal.

but in my experience tires that used usually don't ride that well.

I would not waste the money.

Even the set I got that looked better than those, one of the tires were out of round.

I ended up selling them to someone else.

And feel around inside the tire if you feel like a rubber dust walk away,Its from running a tire under deflated and it tears up the core of the tire over time.

It looks like he ran too much pressure and the centers are wearing uneven. Don't waste money it isn't worth it. Wait it out and put that money towards a decent pair
