Default Pro Comp X-Treme AT's (35x12.5)

Who is running them and how do you like them ?? Any trouble with getting them to balance up ??

I don't know whether its the tires or the two shops I've tried but I can't get them spun up good, at least not yet anyway......

I'm begining to think I should have waited (back ordered) for the BFG AT's...

I have had the ProComp Xtreme AT's on for about 10 months. Used on and off road. No problems yet.

Default I got 'em

I'm running them in a 37 inch..... I love them and get compliments all the time. They have a very aggressive look for an all terrain tire. I've had four sets of tires on my JK since I bought it (as I went up in sizes), and this is my favorite by far. Tires of the past:

- BFG All Terrains (33inch)
- Dunlop Radial Mud Rovers (34inch)
- BFG Mud Terrains (35inch)
- And now Procomp Xtreme All Terrains (37inch)

I had a set of their 35's and loved them. No balance problems ran for one year and switched to same tire in a radial that is a 33.4 size to help my gearing a little. Great tire!

I have them in the 33's and love them. No problems balancing up.

I have had two screws go through them but fixed easy enough.

How are they trying to balance them? It has been my experience with these tires that weights alone don't work as well (as least not on the 37s). The shop I had mine put on at used sandbags. Ever heard of that method? Sand is poured into each tire and when the wheel spins the sand evens out creating a perfect balance.

I've got mine mounted in TireCity (Bristol,PA), they balanced them fine.. All they do is tires for cars and trucks...

Now I'm wondering if its the Pro Comp fake bead lock rims I'm running...

I know a local jeep guy that does not use tire weights they put bbs in the tire
So you don't have to have all those weights on the inside of the wheel
He swears by doing it over using weights.maybe you could try that ??
