Default Are these tires worth a shot?

I picked up 4 bfg's a while back and only used 2 of them so far because the two im posting pics of are questionable, i got all 4 for 100$ so just the 2 that were really nice were worth it but now my fronts are very bald and i dont want to get new tires just yet so im thinking about giving these two a shot but like i said they are questionable, please take a look at the sidewall dmg and let me know if you think they are safe or not.

Thanks guys and happy holidays!

hard question to answer without seeing them in person. i see so many tires with gouges or even chunks missing out of them on customers cars that hold up for years. might want to check the date of the tires too, if they are like 10 years old then i wouldnt run them. i ran a brand new trailer tire that was 20 years old and it blew apart the first time i used it lol

checked the date, 4202 so pretty old, hehe..

Tempted to just get a cheap set of stock size tires until i can save up for new 30's.

Definitely dont want to risk a blow out on the highway.

Decisions decisions!

If I was going to run them I would likely put them on the rear and move the now rears up front

Stock tires til you get some new 30s'. If the tires are good and you dont use them what have you lost? If the tires are bad and you do use them what COULD you loose.
