I recently purchased these bfg at's for $125 on craigslist. 3 of them are great but the 4th on has pretty bad uneven wear on the inside. I heard somewhere that I can flip the tire and it will wear evenly but im not sure. I will post some pictures of them. The picture doesnt really show it very well

The only time I have heard of flipping tires to wear them evenly is on the vehicle they wore that way on. If you trucks alignment is good they will just keep wearing the way they are now.
 






so should I go ahead and put them on there?
 






Judging by the picture they look like they will be ok for maybe a year. Are you using these for offroad only or daily driver? Either way just make sure there isn't any dry rot anywhere and you should be ok.
 






Its my daily driver but is only only like 5 miles on an average day (to school and back) and I checked, there is no dry rot. the tire shown up close is by far the worst tire
 






You should be fine then. If I were you keep an eye out for a replacement tire for the one if you plan on keeping these tires for awhile.
 






I doubt I will find another exactly like this one. it is 33x10.5 and I think bfg are the only ones who make them, but if I do I will definatly buy them
 






Look and see if there are any used tire shops where you live, or junk yards that sells tires. Good luck with your tires, hope they work well for you.
 






Thanks for the help!
