i hate tires

[Swamprat]

anywho, it does look like im downsizing to 31"s and i'll have 4 trail spares, well once i get some rims for them

 

[Mr. Black]

It's gonna look like this...

 

[MischiefMan]

LOL! And that's EXACTLY why I have 33's now.

 

[eflores]

well ok ill trade you some 3 inch springs and short arms so it doesn't look so silly

 

[xxmidianxx]

Well there is no need for bump stops.

 

[eflores]

ive got some 235 75 15's make ya a heluva deal

 

[Swamprat]

i've been thinking. im looking at total price if i bought then hade them installed... i wonder if could just buy tires then mount them. and go get them ballanced. it would save a couple hundred. and i could get 33's!!!!

 

[MischiefMan]

Yes, mounting is easy! I did my 33's with two of the stock lug wrenches that come with XJ's.

Then you can balance using sandblasting glass beads or, like JR did, airsoft bb's. Here's a chart with the amounts to use:

For the guys who have done this, I've always wondered what it does to road noise. It seems like having 6 oz of plastic bb's rolling around could get noisy.

 

[eflores]

you hear any thing over your MT tires???

 

[MischiefMan]

JR has said that he can hear the airsoft beads...I've heard that the sandblasting beads cannot be heard.

Flores is right though, I have trouble hearing my radio over the singing of my MT's. I'm not sure that I'd be able to hear anything from inside the tire.

 

[ExTankerGuy]

You only hear them when you come to a stop. Once you get moving they stay in place. (That's how they balance the tires)

 

[Swamprat]

well i did some digging and it looks like if i get some 33 mud rovers it should only cost me err $650-750 and thats total cost too.

 

[xxmidianxx]

thats not too bad... Cost me more for my 32 A/Ts but I did also get rims.

 

[Swamprat]

LOL

 

[eflores]

lets regroove the tsl's

I had no luck balancing my 33's with 8oz of airsoft pellets in each tire. I had a bad wobble at 40-45mph. I replaced the track bar and looked at the rest of the suspension and checked the alignment and all was good.

I took the airsoft pellets out and am currently running with no balance weight at all and it actually drives a lot better and no more 40-45mph wobble.

 

[x2elite]

I have probably mounted over a hundred different tires by hand. Its not that hard. Most of the time I did it myself just because I was impatient.

 

[xxmidianxx]

I was impatient.

Careful with that... thats how I got another kid on the way... LMAO
