i static balanced them to zero. one of he tires took about a pound and a half.


I've been having trouble finding a shop around here with a bubble balancer. I was going to use dyna beads, but the steel shot I have in there isn't working and would rather find a bubble balance. Thanks.

i've never used the beads. however, the next set of tires will probably get beads instead of balancing the tires every 1000 miles.

put the pipe down, wait 15 minutes, get the smoke out of your eyes, then measure. an ltb 34x10.50 is about 33.5. trust me i know.
now, step up to a real tire, for example a Q78-16, interco says 35.5x10.50, but measured at 39 psi, sitting under 5800 pounds measures 36 spot on.

but if we are talking semantics, yes interco's sizes are all over the place....but WHEN i idle thru a mudhole, with my IRregular sized swamper, onl;y to winch a TRUE 35" out...who gives a turd?;)

+1 on the tire size

Tires never seem to be what they advertise but the tires are advertised at 33.6 and they are that big. I had 255 85's on my D1 with a Rovertym 3 inch and when I put the 34X10.5X16 on I had to add a 1 inch spacer and trim more off the front and back fender to keep them from rubbing.
