    Need opinion on tires

    I'm going to need some new tires soon and wanted to get an opinion on these that I found on Tirerack. They're the least expensive tire they have for the VX but reviews seem ok. I just need a decent tire for daily driving and maybe some light off-road like on sand, gravel, and some loose dirt trails. The price is very attractive since it will save a lot of money up front.

    I'll be getting some serious wheels and tires this summer for some real fun.
    But for now, do you think these would do?

    Any tire that fits will work OK in general terms. It all depends on what your 'druthers are - longevity, high speed on pavement, mudding, slick rock, snow, ...

    You said that you are getting another set later (assume more agressive) so these should be fine for daily driving.

    My $.02.

    Nitto Terra Grapplers for what you described seem like the best choice.

    I have ordered from these guys in the past and can say they are totally reliable:

    Damn, yeah those would be nice, but I really can't afford them right now especially since the Kumho's are less than half their price.

    And realistically, I probably wouldn't end up getting new rims and tires in the summer for off-roading now that I think about it. It'd be nice, but I wouldn't want to get rid of my stock rims and I don't want to be stuck with something I can't off-road in at least once in a while. Those Nitto's would be perfect for daily driving and some off-roading once in a while on weekends.

    However, I did find these...

    What do you guys think? Should I craigslist it for now until I can get some new Nitto's ones later? And if so, does $300 sound fair?
    If these are really at 50%, now long do you think they'd last if I only drive about an hour a day? And shoot, now that I think about it, when school is out for the summer, I'd be doing even less driving (I'm a teacher). These could last me quite a while.
