fixing bad tire wear
 
I have some Rubicon take offs that are cupped and might be feathered. I get a lot of vibration when running them. My toe was really off and I got it fixed. Someone told me that if I take the weights off and move to balancing beads my tires have a better chance of correcting. I'll take pics in a sec they don't look bad. I can feel the vibration in 2 of the tires and slightly in a third I have then at 37 psi and I dropped them down to 30 tonight but haven't put them on the jeep. Is 28 too low or am I fine at 30? seems like the whole tire isn't getting on the ground only the middle. should I try roadforce balancer?

road force balanced isn't a bad idea. they can index the tire and also see if the rim is bent possibly
.

Now that you've had the vehicle properly aligned, a rotation and traditional balancing will prevent future uneven wear. But in the meantime, you will just have to let the tires wear into a normal pattern. I would place the worst offenders on the back axle and it shouldn't take very long.

I had it road force balanced and got then properly inflated. The ride is 1000000 times better now

Do a chalk test to find the correct air pressure. You definitely want a flat contact patch with the road.
