    no problems with my toyo's, will be putting on a new set after I get her back from the body shop, balance was easy for first set and for the (road hazard) replaced left front. . . I'll let you know if there are balancing issues when the next new set goes on in (hopefully) a couple weeks. . . good luck with choosing Wade, pics when on!

    Toyo ST's have about 8K on them now with no troubles. Let's hope that trend holds...

    Look forward to the write up on the new tires.

    In mid 06 I removed the GY tires and went with the Michelin Diamaris due to the combination being used on the BMW X5 MSeries. I immediately removed the GY on the 08 with no issues.

    I recently saw the new BMW X5 and they have now switched to the Dunlop in the 275/315 combo. The tires looks very impressive and aggressive.

    i have the michelin diamaris, thanks to steve. (sgtstanko) the only problem is that if you dont have the right tire pressure is that they tend to wear out from the outside. i had to send Steve a PM to see wat tire pressure he had em at..besides that there kewl! let me know wade and ill take a picture of em for u if you want me to.

    I'm thinking about wrapping them in bolognae and calling it a day-LOL more than likely the Micheline Lat Hps will be the ones I go with. I had the Nitto 420's on the truck and they were great but did not last very long.

    Sorry I missed this thread Wade. Sorry bout your tires man that just plain sux, I know following your other thread what a hassle you've been through already. Sorry bro. BTW, this may be a stupid question but will those Vredstein tires work on your Jeep?? Just a thought, everyone seems to like them a lot.

    Oh, I also put SHALLOW SCOTT up under my avatar just for you, homo, lol!

    I do have to admit, the Toyos are a lot better once they get warmed up. It does sound dumb, but there is a difference....

    If it is your steering wheel that is shaking, it is one of your front tires, if you are feeling a vibration in your seat or throughout the vehicle it is one of the rears.
