Found some tires for a bargain, should I?
They're OEM off a 2007 Hummer H2, BFG 315/70 R17's.
The guy is selling them locally for $200 including the Hummer rims. He says there is 40% tread left. I figure I can buy the rims/tires, put the tires on the Titan and turn the rims around on eBay for $200 or so, so basically free tires. How long will a BFG with 40% tread remaining last me?
I might just jump on this deal...

Most tires last about three years, and at 40%, you'll have maybe 14 months...

Oh, and if the wheel is 6 lug with a 5.5 spacing you can run it on your Titan!! LOL

It's an 8 lug with 170mm spacing. I would be selling the rims separately to re-coop the cost of the tires.

You?
I don't know.
Back end of my buddy's 06 SE 4x4 BT CC?
Perhaps 3 or 4 thousand miles.

As my truck is 2WD, I will not be doing much, if any, off-roading.
Does that change things at all?
Also, does anyone know if a 315/70/17 will fit on the factory 17" O/R rims? Anything to be concerned about?
