Thumbs down trxus tires

Has anybody had any luck with these tires? I ran a brand new set of 35's on my PSD for a few days and they were horrible. A friend had them and wanted to swap. Needless to say I swapped back. I went to 3 different tire shops tring to bet them balanced with little or no luck at all. My whole truck hopped in the rear because 2 of the tires were not perfectally round. The tire guy told me over 33" tires and it's kinda hit or miss on, is this true? They were A/T tread.

Depends on the tire brand and model....some require very little weight to balance even 38/15.50, 39.5/13.50 and 40/13.50 tires. Others will require a lot of weight........and I know a few people who have had out of round tires that have had to be replaced.

I had the same problem with a set of BFG's so it's not just truxs brand. Have them put on a runout machine and see if they are round.

POS tires IMO. Do a search to read about my THREE tire failures. After the third one, I gave up and bought BFGs.

For what it's worth, the Goodyear MTRs are awesome! At least so far (8K miles).

Hey Everyone,

Its all tires, there is a machine out that measures road force and you can rotate the tires on the rims or swap them to other rims to get the numbers down. Balance has very little to do with it:
BFG M/T on the S/D with no vibrations 35 12.5/16.5
BFG A/T on the EX vibrates at highway speed with a slight steering wheel shimmy 35 12.5/16.5.
all tires mounted, road forced and balanced by same tech.
Win some, Lose some
Good Luck, R.
