Check your tire pressure and make sure they didn't blast 55lbs of air or some such into those MTZs (looking at your right front contact patch, they may be high). You should be able to run between 30-35 lbs fairly comfortably.
Will do! Thanks for the heads up. I will definitely do that tomorrow.

I got my tires from RCO and I think they put 40# in them. I dropped the pressure down to 30 and that helped to smooth out the ride.

RCO. No way in HELL they would ever get to touch my Jeep. The only reason I ever buy parts from there is because Frankie works there now.

All of my vehicles go to RCO. Danny has always done excellent work for me plus quite a few freebies. Show me a better shop here in Huntsville. Tire pressure cold for MTZs is 65psi, the shop only put in 40psi. Tire pressures for Jeeps is an individual choice, not the shops.You need to ride and adjust to your OWN needs Don't go off half cocked when you don't know what the hell you are talking about. I'll bet most of you don't even know your own tire pressure. Rant off.

You even own a Jeep, don't see it in your profile? So you can regear your own axles, rebuild your tranny or transfercase, trouble shoot an electrical problem, change your own tires, balance them? Buy your parts on-line and save yourself trouble from shopping from them.

Well in my case, I have my tires on the factory rim which is only 7.5" wide. The tire is over 13" wide and the extra pounds was causing a significant crown and I was pretty much running on the two center lugs. Dropping down to 30psi got rid of most of it.
