Do you know anyone with a Forerunner? If you do, put their wheels on and go for a drive. If the issue goes away, you know its the tires and or wheels.

I second Fastech. Been a customer for years. They now have an alignment rack too. Go see Sheldon and tell him your problem. See what he can do for you. 51st Ave and just south on 97th street.

He already commented that when he moves the back wheels to the front it is fine so I think it is safe to assume it is an issue with one of the two rims/tires.

Not great, I'm starting summer #2 on mine and they are wearing about twice as fast as the Pro-Comps I usually run (Pro-Comp X-Terrain's)

They are sooooo soft I can't take a corner at any speed without them chirping and howling.

Great off-road tire no doubt but they are WAY too soft for me.

I'm seriously thinking of going up to a 16" rim from a 15 just so I can run the Pro-Comp's again and ditch the BFG's while they still have some value.

I might have some 35-12.5-15 BFG M/T K02's for sale soon, a little over 1/3'rd wear (?) (at least 2/3 tread left) The rims will be going with them, same as these... Rims are 5 by 4.5 bolt pattern, I have 2 sets of spacers/adapters to convert the bolt pattern to 5 by 4-3/4

Ran a set of these and got 8000 Kms out of them. Not good on gravel roads. Best tire I ran on gravel are Cooper AT3’s. Changed them out at 75000 Kms and still had good tread left on them.

Time will tell how this plays out hope to get at least 70-90K km’s out of them.

I mean you can get a bad batch of anything now a days but many times it’s operator error.

Proper running tire pressures, rotation, balance etc

Something so easy to do and usually done for free where you bought the tires from but totally neglected.

6 times back, 10 different tires, shimmy is gone, tire machine was in pieces the next day, due all those tires just get recycled to the next guy, I think so. lesson learned.
