Default Tire swap?

Hey guys looking for some input.

I currently have 225/75/15 futura scrambled tires on my jeep. They are the absolute cheapest pepboy tires available, which is why the PO purchased them. Roughly 80 percent tread


I have an oppertunity to trade for a matching set of bf goodrich long trail t/a. 235/75/15 with 60 percent tread

Would it be worth it? Because the pepboys tires absolutely suck.

Long trails are what came on the XJ's stock. They're a decent enough tire, but you'll be limited on your offroad traction. I say do it if they're all in good shape.
