You talking to me? I drive a full sized truck and 35" is only a size bigger than stock.

Not every tire shop can road force balance 35s.

Road force balancing is like nitrogen for tires.

The biggest problem I have with road force balancing 35s is that unless the shop agrees to balance them at ride pressure you are just throwing money away.

Well no duh. Seeing which way is better. They all do weights different. I want a balancing that lasts


no, you didn't catch what I was saying. He asked "need help wiping your butt too?" to which I thought going to a tire shop for that advice was funny...



ps. i'm not funny

I had 35" Swampers on a Tacoma a while back. They took something like 3.5 lbs of weight per tire to balance. Basically the whole rim was weights. The tire tech almost gave up and told me to take a hike.

Literally any tire shop can balance 35s. Hell, most trucks come stock with 33s



Eta: If you want shite that lasts, I've had both stick-on and clamp on weights fall off due to mud. Never had one fall off because of the road

I'm going with beads.
I don't drive a truck like many of you are insinuating. I have a jeep wrangler. Gotta go big with tires or go home

Wait 5 years, come back to the 35" tires, realize how silly they were, and chalk it up to being young and dumb. That's called Life Balance



I'm 30 and wear a suit to work every day. I have 35s.

Classic IIs are better

Don't hate the knuckles. I might be missing 1.5 and have a dual one on the other hand, but the other six and a half play for keeps

I only had the 35s for a little while. Switched to 33s because they didn't rub

Most tire shops won't even balance my 33's.

Hey, sometimes it is the only way. I have only run 33" on my various Jeeps and all balanced with ease. There are plenty of 35" and 37" tires that needed a little extra love though.

interco tires are the worst when it comes time to balance.
