How does a tire cause your alignment to be way off?

Sorry I was talking about the mud grappler

Actually they balance out surprisingly well. My friend runs them and while they are loud, they ride smooth at all speeds

I wish I knew. Alignment was good with stock Rubi wheels and tires and with the MTRs on the damn thing tries to murder me unless I have a death grip on the wheel.

I'm having serious death wobbles problem with these tires. Had toyo's before with everything else the same and never had a problem. As soon as these tires started wearing the wobble started. Going back to toyo's.

I really wish theses tires would have be more road worthy, so disappointing.
The question now is should I go down to a 37 or up to a 40??? I just regear to 5.38 and I think that would be too low for a 37.

I must be one lucky SOB, I have these in 35's and have never had an issue balancing any of them. They are wearing evenly and aren't very loud.

Just put a set of mtr/k 35s on last week. I never heard such bad reviews on these. So far so good. Fingers crossed
