Default Good Deal or Not? Used Tires

I have a chance to buy a set of used Nitto terra Grapplers. The tires on my truck have a couple months left in them and I was hoping these could postpone the purchase of a new set for awhile.

The seller is asking $125 for the four tires. I was just wanting to get some opinions on rather or not this was a good deal and what kind of life span I could roughly expect. I put about 100 miles a week on my 08 F150 4x4 Screw.

I have never purchased used tires before. Pics Attached...

(These are also a little larger than my current tires, 285 vs 265, so Im hoping they look a little better. )

You know you really want them b/c they are bigger and may make your truck look better.
You're just trying to have someone talk you into buying them so you wont have buyers remorse.

Just trying to prevent buyers remorse.

If they would last 4 or 5 months it would be worth it. If they lasted one month it would not. Im going to have to get some new shoes in the very near future anyway. If these would have lasted awhile it would have given me more time to save up some funds rather than letting them ride on a card. If there a POS then Ill take the money I was going to spend on these and put it towards the new ones.

No. They are down to the wear mark. They are useless tires at this point and he should be beaten with a shrubbery for trying to get any real money from them.
