Marcj33, how's the feel so far since you've had them on for a little? You take it off road at all? Thanks

I like them a lot.

They are a lot quiet and smoother and they track great. They feel a little softer than the MTs as well. no off road yet, the first time i get to do that will be at Rise of the phoenix this weekend.

im leaning toward selling my OEM rubber on methods now that these may be my every day AND off road tire...

Question for those with the R/T. We got a set of 20" last week. I noticed the same low speed vibration as another poster. Also, at speed, say 50mph and over, we notice a loose on-center feel in the steering wheel. In simple terms, it wanders a bit. Takes a lot more effort to keep straight. Anybody else with this issue? Any suggestions? Shop said they can order a cam kit and do an alignment to try and correct but that shouldn't be needed with no lift. Any help is appreciated. We have the 500 mile guarantee, so perhaps switching to AT2 is a better solution?

does it get worse the faster u go. could be the wheels/tires were not balanced correctly...between 20's and those tires u have a somewhat heavy combo so if they are out of balance u will really feel it

The balance/smoothness doesn't get worse. The wandering and looseness in steering does. I would say it's about same above 60. I guess it drifts side to side, so to speak.

Like if your losing traction at the front wheels?

I would say check the psi in each tire. Shop may have over inflated them. Check them cold. As the tires heat up, psi will rise as well. To much air in the tires will cause what the problem you are experiencing
