Has anyone ever experienced a broken belt inside their tire? My 25 wrangler rubicon X with 35 tires wanders on its own espically on the highway. I have owned jeeps for 30 years but this wandering is different. I have BFG KO2 factory All Terrain tires Can dealers determine if this exists? Thanks.

A good tire shop can. You don’t need to go to the dealer for your tire warranty.

A broken belt should give a way out of balance thump, thump, thump. A belt can also separate without breaking.

Separated belt will generally cause pulling to one side. Move the tire to the rear and if the issue goes away you’ve identified the problem .
