Just trying to get a good idea on price. Is $600 for a set of moabs w/MT/Rs a decent deal? It includes the spare (brand new). The other tires/wheels have 7000 miles on them.

Sounds like a good deal. The price seems to hover in the $800 range from what I've seen.

OMG go buy them before the owner comes to his senses!!!

Thanks for the quick replies. The rims have some rock rash around the beads but IT'S A JEEP right? :evil:

I am finalizing the deal now.

Keep in mind the OEM MT/R's have anywhere from 10K to 14K before they're shot (softer than retail MT/R's). Mine have about 13K on them and they are down to maybe 50% thread left.

At 7K, you can probably talk them down a hundred bucks or so ... because you'll need to replace them soon anyhow.

I just paid $ 800 for a set of 5 - spare new - 3-4K miles on them - that is a good deal

That is the craziest statement I've heard in a while .....

I paid $500 for a set w/ around 4500 miles on them and some rock rash that looked a little worse than those. (now they are even worse though :wink:

) I consider the deal I got a steal and yours is a dang good deal too. Go for it!

You'll see for yourself

Quinn told me about this, and I had been wondering about that for a while. All the reviews I read online said the MT/R's wear pretty well, but not based on what I have. Mine were wearing out just a little quickly.

Keep in mind I'm talking about the takeoffs from Wranglers.

Only 1 of mine is a stock one - I had to buy 4 new.

The ones on my Rubicon, however, are stock. at 10K miles they are doing fine.

dirtykj · **Posted:** Fri May 19, 2006 2:18 pm

Oh I have no doubt they're fine. I think I can get another 6K or 9K out of mine before I want to replace them. Like I said they're at 50% - 60% thread left now, and that's after having about ... 13K miles give or take.

So to get 30k on a set of Rubicon MT/Rs you have to get kinda lucky? Kudos to Goodyear for goin cheap on the OEM tires.

FreeJeep · **Posted:** Fri May 19, 2006 6:26 pm

I have 42k miles on mine off a Rubi. Prolly would have goten even more, but slacked off a bit in rotating them lately. Prolly could get another 5k or so out of them as is, maybe more.
