Yes, I was referring to the weight of the tire and, you're correct, it is irrelevant to the topic. What isn't irrelevant is that these tires have a maximum inflation pressure of 80 psi and are built for that kind of pressure. This fact, along with their relatively stiff 3-ply sidewalls, makes it...
I find it extremely difficult to believe that a 60 lb, E-rated, 10-ply tire could be physically altered at all by a gain or loss of 2-3 psi of air pressure, let alone enough to affect the results of an alignment check, particularly of the toe. I’d be very interested in knowing the source of this...
Thanks for that information, Yellow Cake Kid. It's not something I would have thought of, but it is not what happened in this case. I am OCD and that applies to tire pressures! They are always within 3-4 psi maximum, usually less.
In stock form, that is true, but offset ball joints can be used to make caster and/or camber adjustments, if necessary. I'm glad to find out I don't need them.
Thank you very much, guys! I appreciate it! The mechanic didn't seem to be too concerned when I was talking to him, but it wasn't his $1400 worth of tires so why would he be?! 😉
Hello, folks. Well, I put a new set of tires on my JL about a week ago and, to play it safe, got the front end alignment checked this morning. In the past, I always got a print-out with the alignment numbers labeled unlike the unlabeled sort of 3d diagram I received today. It has me a bit...
No issues mounting the spare, but I don't think you could go even another 1/8" in width without running into trouble. This tire size is a very close fit.
You're welcome! :)
I literally have less than 10 miles on them right now, but I am going to remedy that today and get some miles on them. When I get back, I'll give you a better and more informed reply. ;) They definitely do not seem to be loud, at least not from 0 to 50 mph or so. I turned my radio off and could...
I purchased my 2018 Jeep JLU Sahara on June 16 of that year. So, since I'm coming up on my 3rd year of ownership, I decided to get a new set of tires for it. After a lot of research, I settled on a set of Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 tires in LT275/65R18. I think they look great with their...
They are discontinued in the sense that the sale of them is discontinued for individual purchase. The only way to get them now is to buy the whole panel as explained above. Crazy, but true!
Over the last two days, I installed a pair of American Adventure Lab High-Line fender braces with DRLs and a pair of their Quick-Release front inner fenders.
After checking the two labels I found on the back of the panel, it appears that the panel's part # is 6BM40TX7AB with possibly a P prefix before the 6 as you can see on one of the two labels.
The dealership let me keep the original one and I have it stored in my garage. I'll take a look at the panel tomorrow and see if I can find a part # on it for you.
Thanks for your post, Joe! I didn't like the Mopar locking lugs either and have seen that type break in the past, as well. I took them off my Jeep and have been running without any locking lugs which I'm not excited about doing either. After reading your post, I just ordered a set of these...
