Nice looking Don! So you say they are not much louder on the road than the ATs were? That is a plus!

No not much louder, but they are not as quiet as the AT's
Still better than I had thought they would be.

The only weird thing is they make a weird little noise between 6-10 mph, not sure if it will go away when the mold marks wear away

Does this mean you don't need new wheels now? I'm guessing you're not pursuing that Walker Evans mass buy anymore.

No I am going to run these for a while

I did call Dave from Walker Evans Monday and left a message that we only had 3 or 4 guys. I waiting to hear back from him if he can do anything. Iwill let you know what I hear.

Wll I wish I hadn't said Yaaaaa As i am not so happy with theses

I have had them ballanced now 3 times and I can not get them to stop shaking. We have turned them 45, 90 and 180 degrees on the wheels, and still it shakes between 60-70 mph

They are quiet and handle well for a mud terrain, but thats all I can say good about these

I wanted to give them a chance to see if they could be lallanced before I bashed them, but now two different tires shops have had a shot at them. I tell you they took a lot of weight no matter where on the wheel. One is so bad that we had to use a combination of bang on weights, and stick on weights.

Don,

Maybe try the airsoft balancing trick. Maybe that would help, sorry they are giving you crap right now.

They may help, but there not that big of a tire

I have run more eggresive treads before, and while they may have been louder, they never shook like this.

I have had them all allmost all different axle locations. They one I had it yesterday was the best, but still had a shake. I guess I will go back to that one till BFG tells me what they will do for me.

Don,

We just went through this with Todd's new Bronco. We found a bad rim. Have them try balancing just the rim with no tire on it. I'd start wit hthe one with all the weight on it.

Hope it helps.

These rims have been fine for a long time. They were fine with the AT's
