Need Bigger Tires

I am fixing to buy wheels and tires. I stumbled in a used set of 33X12.50X15 with 600 miles on them for $600. My question I are these tires good at all for the trails or a waste of money? Thanks!
Seems like Walmart sells a turd version too so watch out
they're they're the old style MT/R's I got horrible gas milage on them and they're LOUD, but, otherwise they were great tires. I'd be worried about why they're selling a full set of tires for $600 with only 600 miles on them though. granted, that's not that big of a discount, if they're the new style kevlars tirerack has em for $205 a piece....which would prompt me to ask....is it worth the extra $220 to have brand new tires?
ok....lets try it like this...
the ones on the left are the new, the ones on the right haven't been made since sometime in 2009, if you're buying the ones on the right for almost as much as a set of the ones on the left would cost you, save your money and go buy a set of the ones on the left, or, a set of these
they'll be only slightly more, they're NEW, and not tires that're at least 2+ years old, with an unknown treatment history....
if you're buying them to put on a spare set of wheels to go wheeling with, fine get the used ones, if you're gonna be DDing with em, get new ones....not knowing how hard of a life they've had up to this point goes a very long way toward my distrust of used tires...
I had the old style MTR's on a fullsize bronco in a 35x12.50, they were by far the loudest tire I've ever had, louder than my dual 3.5" straight pipes (on a supercharged 351W) on the road, and they wore out ***FAST*** almost bald at 20K, replaced at 21,275mi and I'll personally never buy another set of those again, even if they still made them.
I hope they bring it back.
i'd buy them new if they were still making them
hmm....mebbe my bronco was too heavy....as was my foot....and a bit too many horses....it was fun to break all 4 loose on pavement and scare the hell out of people
So I ended up getting a set of DuraTracs on Soft 8s. Got them

I have my BL but need to get it installed before I can mount these bad boys. Unfortunately I have zero confidence in my ability to install the BL and it seems like all shops in my area won't touch it :/ it doesn't help that I'm a very impatient person lol
