Should I buy these? Used Firestone MT2 with wheels off of Willys.

I see a set of 4 Firestone mt2 tires with the stock wheels from Willy’s wrangler for sale in my area for $275 but I could probably talk them down.

Three of the tires have 20k miles and one has 5 miles.

They would be replacing the Bridgestone duelers light truck tires on my gladiator and I’d probably swap the wheels to.

I would not be comfortable with that one uneven wear tire. 20K miles also is pretty much 50% or more worn in for a MT and there may not be much life left in them. Value kind of goes down hill if you have to pay to dismount and mount them on your current wheels and swap TPMS if needed.

He did mention they come with the wheels. So it may be a good find if he's looking for a spare swappable set.

In the end "should I buy these" is completely up to the buyer. We don't know what you like, don't like, intend to use it for, etc.

That’s what I was worried about it being to uneven but I’ve never had an MT or AT before so I wasn’t sure. I’ll skip them then.

I was just looking for something to tide me over till I could get some nice aftermarket wheels and some tires but I think I’ll just skip these.

OE take-off wheel and tire sets are a dime a dozen. I’d look for one with less miles.
