lol you said it yourself the rims were O.K.. I always bought The Mich man tires but with this economic situation I just couldn't part with the extra bucks. Needed tires on both Daks. Used Wworld, put uniroyals on 94 and wranglers on 89. I noticed when balancing the techs checked and rechecked. Although slower than I anticipated, the tires are fine . With the cost of tires it stumps me if factory quality control is up to what it should be. I might run my fat trap here and mention that tire wear is acellerated on most vehicles because of old shocks. I read an article that one of the rental companies changes worn tires and shocks togethor. he increased tire life offsets shock costs.
