Good Deal?
Is this a good deal?

Four 315/75/r16 Nitto Terra Grapplers
They have 10/32 to 12/32 of tread on each tire. He says that's a little more than half tread.
The guy wants $300 for them.

I would find out how many miles were put on those tires for half of the tread to be gone before I would tell you it was a good deal or not...

I dont know about the whole tread thing but wouldnt 16/32 be half? Or does it not work that way? But if you are getting those wheels soon I would say just get some tires to get by till you can get new ones. So you can get those new wheels on and so you get that space in the wheel well covered up

19/32 to 21/32 of an inch is the tread on new tires of that kind depending on size and brand.

Yeah that is the plan for these wheels. Run them for as long as I can. They are only going to be summer wheels. The rims and tires on the truck now will be used for the winter.

Thanks for the help jdruzik
