I am lovin mine in the 33 size. On and offroad and was diggin them on a long road trip we made in the JK. I couldn't be happier with mine and would recommend them and will be replacing them with MTZ's again when these ones wear out.

Well I finally got to the bottom of the issue. I had to get the tires trued because they were so out of round. The amount of tread they took off isn't even noticeable and then they rebalanced the tires. The car rides great now. If you can find a shop that does this I can't believe the difference. They also balance the tires on the vehicle so they spin them up to 100 mph where as any other road force machine only spins to 45.

JK - Glad this worked out for you.

Did you ever remove the speed clips from the brake rotors when you installed the wheel spacers. If the speed clips were left on and the spacers installed on top of them, the wheel assembly WOULD have excessive tread runout.

I love mine...24 psi on the street ( i only drive 6 miles round-trip to work) and as low as 18 off-road and no complaints. I love the way it looks and it's very aggressive off highway. Once I forgot to put it in 4WD and climbed out of a fairly steep mud bank with these tires...I will buy them again when they wear out.
