Depends who you ask
My stock Wild Peaks did this. Horrible cupping and feathering. Dealership wouldn't do anything about it. I got Atturo trail Blade tires. No issues and they've been on for over a year now.
Same on the stock wild peaks. Been rotated every 5k.

I had them on my 2000 TJ too. They have been garbage tires for me. Just not a fan.

over 60,000 miles on mine and that hitting the trails several times a year!
They are MUD TERRAIN tires and need to be rotated often, I do an oil change and 5 tire rotate every 5,000 miles.
What part number did you get???
I wonder if you got a set of STICKYS

New set going on end of week. After 400 miles I will update this thread if the problem reappears. Everything on the truck is in the green, alignment double checked. The tire with most obvious choppiness was on driver rear if that means anything.

Good luck. I went out and took a good look at mine, and the inner blocks looks good. I rotate every 10K on a five-tire cycle, so the inner is always inner but rotational direction reverses when they go from right to left side. I run between 28 and 32, depending upon season and road surface I'll be on (interstate 32 for max milage, local roads 28 for max comforts and best wear; usually 15 on trails). Tires are just passed 45K now and still look good.

Tire shop noticed today that my 37 Baja boss's with around 400 miles on them are all showing "choppiness" or uneven tread wear on inner blocks. Air pressure is right, alignment is right, no off-roading , no hard acceleration or sharp curves/turns, nothing but easy daily driving.

The choppiness is obvious on a couple of the tires but is present on all of them.

Tire shop offering to warranty them out an put a replacement set on but want me to either go with the same tires or they suggested TOYO's with less mileage warranty.

Does any of this issue with the M/T BB At's sound familiar? Anyone experience this? Really like the tires, so far, but at 400 miles with choppiness showing up already don't know if I would risk it.
No, but glad I dont.. Take the warranty and run with it.

I think that I what I am going to do. Thanks. Are you seeing any uneven choppiness on inner tread blocks at all?
I agree with this advice. I have the same tire in a 35 vs. the 37 but I have 20,000 miles on mine, a mix of on and off road, PA boulders, etc and have no problems, no noise, no complaints. I have been so happy with these I recommend them to all of my friends. Good luck with the new set.

I do a 5 way every 5k, but these tires are expensive.

I was thinking today watching the new set go on the truck, should I move the spare into the rotation cycle? I would have to buy another wheel approx. $300ish is it worth it? How much more overall life of the set is gained by including spare in rotation. Yes these are expensive tires.

Oh. One more thing. So with the pressure dropped to 28 my tpms light activated now. I thought it didn't turn on until 26 or 27. Can we reprogram the gladiator to adjust activation pressure down?

If I remember correctly, the TPMS low pressure threshold can be reset using the WiTech (dealership) scan tool. So that would mean a trip to the dealership, but it wouldn't take long to reset the minimum inflation numbers.

Adding the fifth tire is a 25 percent addition to overall tire pool, so you add that much to tire life. Of course you have to buy the tire, and the wheel, so the extra lift comes at a cost. (roughly $700-800).

I used JScan to lower the tire pressure alert to 25 psi. Easy to do.

Did you have to mess with the security gateway?

To me, it's a wash. If you rotate all five, then you'll have to replace all 5. I run a relatively inexpensive spare 37" spare. I'm on my second set of 37s and still may not ever touch the spare (hopefully). You can use jscan or jl mini. I switched to the Jscan so that I don't have to mess with the mini when taking the JT to the dealers. Jscan setting is more permanent, set it and forget it kinda deal.

Jscan can set the threshold as low as 15 psi (Tazer can only go as low at 25). It’s worth being able to handle this yourself, along with the tire size calibration itself, of course
