my buddy has 5 31" bfg mud terrains on 15x8 rock crawler wheels, the black ones with the red and purple lines, hes sellin them for $500 bucks, is this a good deal, they have about 85% tread on them. all the input needed
 
check them for cupping, excessive inside edge wear or other wear patterns. If they haven't been wearing even, the amount of tread won't matter. They'll ride like crap and very likely bless you with a nice 55 MPH shimmy. At ~50% tread, I was more than happy to get rid of mine. Maybe he'd let you do a try-before-buy.

Of course, this is a non-issue if you expect to use them on a trail only rig.
