12.5" wide tire on how wide of a stock rim? 8 to 10 is recommended, but your stock ones are 6.5 to 7.5.

I used to work at a tire shop, and those look pretty sketchy, the bead doesnt look so hot, and even if he says they havent been in the weather, the wheels they came off were super rusty, so that means they had some moisture where ever they where being stored. I would advise against it and try and get your money back, but thats prob a lost cause.

I'd sell them on CL as "OFF ROAD ONLY", explain the age, and don't sell them to anyone under 20!

id rum em.

look all around the tire for signs that might mean danger, if not.- what you cant see cant hurt you.

Buff up that bead real nice, and take them on some slow roads.

rubber just doesnt deteriorate.
If there is no wear- there is no wear.
