you can find the bfg rugged trail takeoffs for cheap, not a real good tire for a guy who offoads his truck, great road tire and weekend warrior though.

Yeah majority of my driving is just highway/town/gravel to and from work. Anything else I should look at on it? I expressed my concerns about the plugs and service man said they take them out and put a penetrating oil on them to avoid problems in long run of the breaking off when a trade in comes in with over 50,000 miles. Claims they have had good luck with that.

Same here. I told the salesman I would like them to throw a new set of plugs in, and he said that they checked them when it went through recon, and if they needed to be replaced they would have. Thing is Im trying to have that dealership sell it to my dealership so I can say I bought from my dealership and not some other company.

^^^ they would say they didn't just so they don't have to replace them, most places won't do a tune up unless it runs like crap or the 100,000 miles have past and it wasn't done

if the tires are that bad, they can't sell it like that, dealers have rules to follow.
