Need opinion on tires

[tom4bren]

Any tire that fits will work OK in general terms. It all depends on what your 'druthers are - longevity, high speed on pavement, mudding, slick rock, snow, ...

You said that you are getting another set later (assume more agressive) so these should be fine for daily driving.

My $.02.

Nitto Terra Grapplers for what you described seem like the best choice.

I have ordered from these guys in the past and can say they are totally reliable:

Damn, yeah those would be nice, but I really can't afford them right now especially since the Kumho's are less than half their price.

And realistically, I probably wouldn't end up getting new rims and tires in the summer for off-roading now that I think about it. It'd be nice, but I wouldn't want to get rid of my stock rims and I don't want to be stuck with something I can't off-road in at least once in a while. Those Nitto's would be perfect for daily driving and some off-roading once in a while on weekends.

However, I did find these...

What do you guys think? Should I craigslist it for now until I can get some new Nitto's ones later? And if so, does $300 sound fair?
If these are really at 50%, now long do you think they'd last if I only drive about an hour a day? And shoot, now that I think about it, when school is out for the summer, I'd be doing even less driving (I'm a teacher). These could last me quite a while.

looks like a great deal to me...

Hmmm; 50% worn out, play "hard ball" with him and offer him $200 or nothing!!! Especially, in today's economic climate-- he'll sell (he's probably hurtin' for money anyway). Tell him you're still gonna have an additional expense of getting them mounted and balanced, etc.

Thanks for the tip.
I talked him down to $150 for all four, haha. And had him measure the tread on em and they're almost exactly half worn.

So, I guess I'll use these and test em out to see if I like em and in the mean time I can save up for some brand new ones.

Thanks for the help guys!

P.S. You guys sure these would fit on my stock VX? She's not raised or anything and has the stock 18" wheels.
