Good suggestion, I took mine to the base and took me 3 1/2 hours to do... I saved money, but I had problems till I went to the tire shop and had them try to balance them...

Hope this helps...

I am concerned about that flap being loose on the wheel like it is. Is that normal?


Hal, what was the problem in balancing yours?

I believe the flap was folded over under the tube on the back side of the tire... They beat on the tread with a hammer (Big one) and then claimed 2 of the rims were warped and and two tires were out of round... :-(

After them working on them and saying they could not balance them due to the warpage/out of round... I said put them back on and I will see about rims and replacement tires... I drove the jeep and it was fine... they inadvertantly fixed the problems I was having... I have since had the jeep to 55 MPH (One time deal) and it drives fine. :-)

I am going to leave it as she sits and drive the devil out of it... Having a ball... :biglove:

Hope this helps...
