    Marauder Front Tires: BFG KDWS 235/50R18

    I have two 235/50R18 BFGoodrich KDWS tires that came on a set of Marauder wheels I bought recently. I have no need for these so I'm offering them to the Marauder community before they go on craigslist. Both tires have good tread and even have the knobs from molding still intact. I could not find any nails or patchwork either.

    Price: $100




    I'd be willing to ship these as long as the buyer pays shipping, but I would prefer local pickup.

    Sidewalls look fine. No cracking or curbing damage. There are some cracks here or there inside the tread grooves, but that is normal with use. The tires aren't crumbling to pieces or anything like that.




    I've had a few PM's on this as well so I'll sort things out

    Date codes are shown as 4-digits. The first 2 indicate the week and the last 2 show the year. I'd be checking 10 year old tires real closely.

    You are in motown? I'm over in parsippany. My front passenger is leaking right now. I may be interested.

    Where do I find the production date? I also have two used front BGFs that I took off late last year to put new tires on all around since the rear tires were worn. Fronts still had a lot of tread left and no special side wearing.

    Big O Tire doesn't always give me the car fixer alignment specs when I ask them to. Curious to hear how much people are paying for these. How does one ship tires?

    It will be molded on the sidewall some where. Like Bluerauder it will be 4 numbers in a row. I always check the numbers when I get new tires from Discount Tire Direct to make sure they aren't 10 year old tires. So far so good.

    By way of comparison, my Nitto Motivos are stamped 2416 (or June 2016). They were less than 2 months old when they went on the car.
