But that will change as the air inside the tire heats up and expands.

i think he meant just driving down a paved driveway or parking lot, thats also a good way to make sure both duals on a semi truck are still both carrying an equal load

hell yea, a friend of mine in the offroad club bought a wrecked Cherokee for the motor tranny and t-case, it had 33s on it, we put those on my jeep (his DD already had a set) and put my stockers on the donor truck so we had a way to roll it onto the car trailer for the trip to the JY

I usually drive a few miles to get some heat in them before i do that, then put chalk on, drive for a few feet then look at the chalk to see where it wore.

I noticed this is the most expensive to maintain yet ironically newest vehicle I have ever owned and wonder if it will ever be reliable....
