Balancing Issues with Goodyear MT/R w/ Kevlar??? & Final Pick My Tire Poll
I had asked for help choosing a tire in a previous post / poll and I'd like to thank everyone for their input and information. I came out of that with a few more questions and thoughts.
1st. I was very interested in this tire but I'm hearing that there are balancing and uneven wearing issues.
2nd. I haven't heard anything bad about the Nitto Trail Grapplers. Does anyone have a complaint.
3rd. Are the Pro Comp Xtreme MT's worth a look.
These are my final three choices for a set of 35x12.50x17's for my JK. The BFG's are out of the running right now because of the back-order issues. Thanks for voting in the other poll and please vote here. Leave any positive or negative comments, they all help. Ultimately I'm looking for the best street and wet pavement tire. NO I do NOT want an A/T tire. This jeep is a daily driver (about 300 miles a week).

where are you at in louisiana?, if you are anywhere close to me i have nitto trail grapplers and you can come drive mine, they balance easy and for a m/t they are fairly quiet, i took em on a 2000 mile trip beginning of summer, NO PROBLEMS. Offroad they are great, if you are close and want to drive it p.m. me i am off this weekend

I don't know much about the Pro Comps, but for your stated mission the Trail Grappers will beat the heck out of the MT/Rs.
To be honest, your stated requirements sound exactly like what A/T tires were designed for, but if you don't like 'em, hey, it's your Jeep.
