I have a problem keeping my tread on my Traildigger M/T's (33's) smooth. The tread is wavey, or every other lug is taller then the one next to it insdead of being smooth and uniform. Now ive had all tires ballanced many time and they just wont smooth out and continue to ride rough,vibrate, hum loudly around 30mph. i do have a 2.5 inch space lift and have never ajusted my rear track bar. could this be the cullprate? if not id apreciate yalls help!

Yep, have the same prob.....and it's totally my fault. The wavy pattern on the front will develop from not rotating the tires frequently enough. I noticed mine at 15K miles when installing my lift and rotated at that time. Once I rotated the tires the wear evened out...... which of course decreased the life on those 2 tires

The up side is I now have some 35" tires coming to me.....with the wife's approval

BTW, I have 30K miles on my Jeep now.

i rotate mine every 3thousand miles and ballance them every 3 thousand miles. but its not just my front tires its also my rear ones and they seem to get alittle better but then they go back to looking wavey. could it be that my rear axle is pulled to the passanger side so would i need to realine my track bar for the rear axle?
