get them balanced with beads
Why beads... I have used them before, but was wondering why you suggested it... have you herd bad things about balancing with these MTRs
I was thinking about it anyway, but I really hate trying to get the beads out if I don't like em...
(I'm gonna start a new topic about beads...) tbc

where did you buy them from? im thinking about getting the same tires or maybe mtz's next month. i know tirerack lets you pick them up if you have a "commercial account" or whatever

i can't say enough how much i disliked my results with dyna beads...but if you choose to go with them they sell them at the tire shop in camden two blocks south of the cop shop.
Got the wheels/tire mounted... w/o beads or weights for that matter... (gotta wait till Monday for the tire place to open up)
They are actually very smooth for not being balanced... did fine up to 70 on Rt 1
Little C/A rub at full turn in reverse, but I can add a washer to the stops.
Had to argue with the guy that mounted them... kept telling him they are not directional... they are asymmetrical, so yes they look like the tread on one side is backward from the other... that's how they were designed.
power loss wasn't bad, no worse then the 33's
I still have to pick up the spare... but I need to address the tire carrier prior to mounting it on the back of the Jeep
SOLD IT !!!
Good luck to Lanier here on the board.
SOLD IT !!!
my concolences
James 78 Jeep looks good with the 35's on it.

x2 you still have a good amount of clearance

Amazing that I could fit 35's with a 2.5" lift...
I am sure that I need to add some bumpstops... I have them, just need to figure how much I need!!!
BTW, who has the RTI Ramp?
Got started on the next project...
started gathering the parts for a drum-to-disc rear brake conversion. bought backing plates, brackets, and calipers that came off a '96 ZJ.
bought it this stuff: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors…iewItem&item=140355638142
Put HIDs in the Low beams on the WJ
ordered some new rubber 245-75-17's that will go on Sat.
