Nope. They wear in an odd manner. They will wear themselves out of balance.

Looks good. Did you take it on the highway yet? If so how did it drive?
My other option is going to 37" KM2 but I don't know if I'll be happy with the size over my 35" km2. Because they run so small. But you can't beat how light they are.

I was looking at the Goodyear MT/R kevlars as well but after my endless research I ended up going with Nitto Trails instead. Seem to be true to size as well and you hear nothing but positive feedback on them as opposed to the Goodyears.

I had my 37" MTR/K mounted and balanced yesterday. They took a lot of weight to balance a few of them. But they are quieter and smoother on the highway then my KM2's were! And my spare they said they could not balance with weights, it was calling for 18 oz of weight.
Should I return this one tire they can't balance? or just put dyna beads in it? And I heard something about centric wheel balancers but don't know anything about them?
