Looks good. What tires are those?

Kanati Mud Hogs, not happy with them at the moment, we'll see if they Road Force balance ok.

Got out and did some trails today, everything worked great.

Tires still wobble like crazy lol.

That's kinda funny, I've seen so many people say they really like those mud hogs. But maybe they don't drive very fast or far or something.
I've never had any of the Kanati tires, so no personal clue.

Does look like you had a little fun though.

Sounds like it’s time to cut open a couple 00 buckshot shells and get er done.

You may be thinking of Kendas, that have a good reputation, and not Kanati?

Have 7 Oz of beads in them now and didn't do a thing but cost me 40 bucks.

Hopefully the Road Force takes it out, I just dropped it off.

I know that Kenda makes a good tire. I've ran them on my motorcycles many times, As well as ATVs and UTVs.
But I've heard good things about Kanati, and maybe it was ATs and not MTs. My buddy's tire shop doesn't deal with Kanatis, so I haven't really paid attention to them. And maybe it was just a few telling themselves they were good tires cause they spent good money on them.

Hopefully the road force balance does it for you. I though it took more than beads, like 10 or 12 ounces. Maybe less is recommended if you also use tradition weights. I've only used the beads in big truck tires.

Just picked it up from the local store after road force, works great up to 90 mph now.

No idea why Discount wouldn't do that lol.

This might help.

As far as I know, it’s ok to put a few ounces more beads in a tire but a nogo to not put enough.

 

[Jrgunn5150]

Taking all the beads out and having them Road Force balanced helped, it's a done deal now.

But, for what I spent on beads, and balancing, I could have just bought a nicer set of Toyo's and not done any of that.

Won't buy them again, not going to bother dismounting them and waiting a week to get paid back on a refund for replacements either.

Wife is going to need new shoes soon. I think I convinced her to go with the R/T Pros. Partially because they review well and partially because that’s what I want to run for the next set on my Jeep so she gets to be the tester.

That's what I was going to swap these out for, but just keeping them is easier now.

Changed the gear oil today, about 600 miles, no surprises there.

Visited Bundy Hill today in Southern Michigan, could use some real sliders now, they have tight trails there, but what a treat to wheel!
