Yesterday, I picked up a new set (5) of Allied Rock 8, 17x8 5x5.5 3.5 BS.
My current set of 10 yr. old MT/R's on 15x8 Rock 8's are pretty scratched up and the side walls are pretty well tore up too. When I mount the new tires myself, I will take note of the orientation of the valve stem to a certain point of reference on the tire. So when I get them balanced, I'll be good to go. If not I'll let the air out, remove the ring and break the inside bead. Then rotate the tire 180*, reassemble and rebalance. hopefully with good results.
So with that, on to tire choice. Besides the popular BFG MT, Goodyear MT/R, Toyo, Falken, Mickey T, Copper and so on. I'm open to opinions, good and bad about these tires. The Maxxis MT Razr, Pitbull Rocker and the Super Swamper SST. All in the radial flavor.
Thanks
Steve
And if my choice of tire doesn't balance out with some effort, I'll give the balance beads a try.
