Default Some cheap fun...

So I recently bought almost brand new SVT Raptor wheels and tires off of a 2013 Raptor. They had 80 miles on them so I jumped on them. I don't want to destroy my nice tires so I found a set of 4 of the same tires on craigslist for 50 bucks. They have very slight dry rot and about 15 percent tread left. Offered him 40 and it was a deal... My buddy mounted them up and now I can beat these up offroad for a while. They cleaned up nicely... He said they are in good shape and balanced well. Check out the tire sticker blob... 100 percent tire stickers. haha.... If you can find them, used tires are cheap fun.

These wheels look sweet what'd you pay for the original wheels and tires.

The guy was asking 1900... I got him to go down to 1600. When I picked them up, they were in this office and I could still see that every single whisker was on the tires. I was excited... haha, knew I got a good deal.

He put on some ugly *** XD wheels in a goofy offset. Basically ruined the look of his truck... while simultaneously making mine look cool. haha.

Haha, because I am a recent college graduate and like to go offroading and have fun in my truck but don't have a ton of money to blow on tires. These tires allow me to do this cheaply. Once these 40 dollar tires are worn out, I may try to find another cheap beater set or just put the almost new ones on. I live in AZ and when you go offroading our terrain chews up tires fast. Does that make sense?

You let those new tires sit too long they will dry rot too
