Subject:WTB 2 or 3 used BFG AT KO 215/75R15

During the time I was driving my Syncro shortly after the conversion and

then after my shoulder surgery I didn't pay enough attention to
maintenance and didn't rotate the tires and didn't notice that I was
having uneven wear on the two tires on the front.  Now both of them are
uneven worn with greater wear on the outside.

I need to get the alignment redone and I think I need two more tires.
However, my three evenly worn tires all have only 10-11 / 32 of tread
left and it seems like two new ones at 16/32 of tread would be too much
inequality in rolling circumference for the VC.

I know that others have sometimes failed to do regular rotations and
ended up having to buy a whole new set of tires.  I am trying to avoid
this for right now.

So, does anybody out there who had to buy a new set of 5 have has 2
good, yet partially worn matching tires with the same 10-11 mm of tread
left on them and who would be willing to sell them?  I might buy 3 if
you had them and have one as a backup.
