So I just changed my MT/R's out, and so nw I have a fresh set. What I wanted to know is if anybody would know why my front tires looked like stop signs, and how to fix it. Some one told me, it could be my shocks. Im just not sure. I have a Rusty's 2.5in liftv and the tire size is 245/75/16. I just dont want to leave flat spots in my new tires. Thanks.

Thanks! Im thinking its the bearings, so I will give them a try. It will be hard to tell if it worked since they are all new tires, and they dont make that horrible noise anymore, but it will help me sleep at night. Thanks again.

Thanks for the link. I just noticed on my MTR's that one came with a heel/toe problem.. The trailing edge of each lug is lower than the leading edge of the lug behind it. Not sure why only on 1 wheel. These came to me with about 9k on them. I am going to run it in the rear for a while and see if I can wear it down evenly. either that or it becomes my spare! :lol:

This is my own personal experience with Good Year tire's !

1.) ride like hell
2.) wear like hell
3.) expensive as hell
4.) look good though !!!! :wink:
