Default 5 BFG KM2's w/ 17" soft 8's

Just got a 4in rancho lift and looknig for some wheels/tires go with it. I found a set of 5 BFG KM2's with 17" soft 8 wheels and 70% + tread left for $1000. Is that a good deal or should I just buy new?

Pretty good deal if the tread is still good, should be $1300+ for the equivalent new.

Probably should have mentioned that they're 35x12.5x17. I figured more in the range of 1800 for the tires new. It appears tread is more like 50-60% still a good deal?

I just paid $900 for five of the exact same tires, four are 90% (17/20) and the spare is brand new. Only 50-60% I'd offer $800

Not bad deal considering its tires and wheels combo.

Looking at 2100-2300 brand new, spend the rest on something else?

Go for it! Especially because it comes with the rims! Just got same tires for my 18" rims for $1500.00 for 4
