Default Tire balancing.

Just took my JEEP with 33's to 3 tire shops and no one could balance then because they are "to big". Is there a chain that anyone goes to that can do it?

Find a local truck/jeep shop and become freinds with the owner. Its always nice to have the hook up when you need it and commercial tire shops are a pain in the arse.

I always get great service and pricing from these guys. The store near me does a lot of large tires so have the experience with them as well. To the extent that they will tell you all MT's can be a pain to balance. Took a second round on the machine to get mine just right.
