looks about the same as my trail tires. maybe keep em away from doing highway speeds. my bfg mt's are just about 10 years old now i figure. i'll get someone to pm you if i die while driving on them tho.

i ran a set of 11 yr old 35 bfg muds and never had a problem, now they are on a buddys 90 toy and he hasnt had a problem yet, i used to drive down the interstate at 80mph 5 days a week 15 miles each way for 2 yrs on them. those bfg's last a long time.

not true... if a tire place is bored enough, (or hurting enough) they'll mount anything. ive even been asked to patch sidewall punctures (which is illegal). so yeah... they'll mount em with a 'no warranty on anything, totally off the record' thing.

1. How much did you pay for the tires?
2. How much is your life worth?
If 2 > 1 then I guess you have your answer.
Lesson learned. Look at used items closely BEFORE you purchase them cause once you buy them they are yours.
I wouldn't run them...but then again I would have never bought them except maybe for some rollies.

i paid 400, and im not throwing that money away.
i got a question thought, will they fit my stock rims, or do i need to buy new rims?
