holy crap seriously? Is that a common problem with them? Because mine are somewheres between oval and square. The thing shakes like a bitch at cruising speeds because of them. I always heard they were good tires and just assumed they were wore like that from his truck. If I'd known that they were gonna be like that I wouldn't have got em in the first place

I had a set of Sport King A/Ts on the back before and they would just shake the hell out of the truck. Never bought some damn off-brand tires again!

I buy used tires from the Mexi cans where I live, whatever I can get that are any where from 31's to 33's on a 15 inch rim. Right now I got BFG's km's on the back and some random Cooper A/T's on the front, paid a total of $120 for them.

I got General AT2's from Discount for $160 each. 305 70 16's. Honest to god the best All terrain I have ever used. Twice the traction my BFG's had with half the cost. They are special order at most locations tho.

I used to work at discount, and the reason they are special order is because BFG's are much more profitable, and most people want to walk in and out the same day.

I had the same shaking that ya'll were talking about when I bought my new Runway Enduro M/T's. I'm not sure if I have oval tires or a bent rim.

does anyone know about a tire being called a blem? I have a friend thats a mechaninc and he told me not to buy tires off of ebay because they might be blems. He said that they are tires that dont pass final inspection at the plant but they wholesale them to diffrent companies and then they can sell them for cheap. I was just wondering if this is true or not and is that why alot of the tires on ebay are really cheap?
