Steering for oversized tires

Hi Guys,

Just wondering what you guys have done with your steering when you put over sized tires?

As we all know, putting bigger tires makes the steering feel like it has no power steering at a stop.

Thanks,

Someone may be along with some guidance on mods for this, but I can tell you I've been running 37" and now 38" tires on my truck for years and never really gave this a second thought. I really don't experience any noteworthy issue with steering- even at slow speeds. My only steering mod is dual stabilizers, which probably need replacing by the way.

my 35" Nittos steer fine....at any speed.
And I NEVER turn the wheel unless I am moving even slightly,
The idea of grinding my tires on pavement is not acceptable.
i see people do it all the time, stopping, cranking the wheel, then moving. Not my idea of a good idea
