Started installing Tires this weekend. Doing it myself, since I want to make sure the beads get cleaned (they are a mess) and I have to rotate wheels and tires around so I have my best wheels in my new tires, and the worst of the generals on as a spare. Didn't feel like explaining that 12 times to a tire shop...so here we are. The first one was pretty hard...but I got it done. Second one took me about an hour to removed from the Jeep, Dismount the old tire vaccum out balance beads, remount the new tires, pour in balance beads and install on the Jeep. I got a LOT quicker.

However, I found some concerning wear on the drinker's side front tire. The Outside of the tire is worn quite a bit more than the inside is. I also found a bad unit bearing. May be related...maybe not. The plan right now is to get the unit bearing fixed and take it to an alignment shop for some measurements. More to come on that. Tires LOOK really good though, LOL.
