So tall and skinny huh? Okay, so just to make sure I am not misreading this...are these 9.5's with the BF's? http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/findTireDetail.do?rc=OHDINT&c=2&cf=false&cs=33&pc=38901&rcc=&rd=15&ar=&ct=&rf=true Thanks, Chris

Hey all, Quick question I never got around to asking, but I have a 97 XJ with 6" of lift, 4.56 gears (d30/8.25) locked and right now I am running 33" TrXus MT radials and I would like to put something else on since I do a ton of highway driving and would like some better gas mileage and save...

Thanks for the info, now I just need to find out which years carried the d30/8.25. I am guessing 97 and up since my 97 has it, but what other years? Thanks, Chris

If there is a post about this somewhere, let me know, but I have a friend who is in the market for an XJ and he has about $4000 or less to spend on one. I told him I would try to find out what years he should look for and what years he should stay away from. In addition, if you recommend...

Everything is sold, thanks guys. Chris

Hey all, Decided not to use this stuff after all so selling it to whoever wants it. Brand new, Turbo City thermostat housing and 180 thermostat. http://www.turbocity.com/product_info.php?products_id=161 http://www.turbocity.com/product_info.php?products_id=160 Throw me a good price plus...

Okay, just to play stupid (which I guess I am doing pretty well :) when you say add more weight, you mean more pellets or actual weights with the pellets inside, etc? And yeah, there were a ton of weights on those tires, so again, humor me, what are you thinking for amount of pellets inside for...

Alright gotcha on the nitrogen piece and really don't feel like getting into a discussion about this, just trying to figure out the wheel issue and DW issue. Thanks, Chris

So if I'm reading this correctly, let's say my tires are uneven because of bad alignment, etc that the weights on there overcompensated for. So now taking off the weights, I am dealing with the true tire. How long before the tire goes back to normal shape? I run this Jeep for right now, since...

You are correct about the nitrogen in the air we breathe, but that 1/5 of oxygen honestly is enough to cause issues such as these below. (It's boring, but true) Oxygen and moisture corrodes aluminum and steel wheels. Oxygen also reacts with rubber, another type of "corrosion". When this...

Okay, that makes sense, I'll give it a try with more and see what happens. I do have a feeling that my alignment is off because the truck pulls to the right...not gradual but pretty decent. And yes, nitrogen is a huge advantage in tires, which is why race cars use it, truck drivers use it...

Okay gotcha, but what about my other questions? "So since I started out with 8.5 oz in each 33" tire, what should I try to do go up or down? And should I add .5 oz at at time or more like 1 oz at a time? And I guess at what point in time do I need to start thinking that other things could be...

Okay, well since I don't feel like paying the guys to keep putting nitrogen in my tires, I guess I will have to fill them with air until I find the correct weight. So since I started out with 8.5 oz in each 33" tire, what should I try to do go up or down? And should I add .5 oz at at time or...

What is lateral imbalance? I get the idea, but how does the tire get that? Should I keep the pellets and put on wheel weights or should I check all my steering, alignment, CA's, trackbar, etc first? Thanks, Chris

Or were the weights on the tires before just hiding other problems that I am just finding out about like DW, alignment, etc?
