Off brand tires are a no-no to me. I've mounted and balanced thousands of tires, if you could see how out round some of those off brands are you would never even consider them. They shake and vibrate and wear strangely.

They look identical to the Master Craft Version of that tire.

Get away from tire weights. Run air soft pellets. That way you won't have any issues as Devin stated. But i too mounted tires for 7 years, never had any real issues with off brands.

And they are cracking because the rubber is checking, it is completely normal.

i noticed about 7oz of weight in one of the actual pictures & was thinking about that, but was giving the tire the benefit of the doubt by hoping it was just a moron who balanced it

will a shop do the airsoft balls? i don't have a lathe or balancer (or access to either right now), so it's out of the question to do it myself. but i do have thousands of plastic BBs

as for my michelins, what does "checking" mean? they were made in '05 & have been on the truck since at least Nov '06 when i bought it. i've had it at a shop or two to rotate & they said they can't legally mess with them because of the cracking/separation.

Most places that sell semi tires have the beads.

http://innovativebalancing.com/ is a little bit of information, WELL worth the money.

That craiglist pic looks like it has A LOT of weight, but so do my swampers. It rides....like a truck. If you want a smoother ride, get a street tire. If you go offroad, I don't think those will clean out very well. I'm actually REALLY impressed with the new mickey thompson baja ATZ's. I put 2 of them on the rear of my truck, and it has been a beast. They hook alright on drive pavement (better then my swampers), they clean out really well, and I was getting through snow drafts that 4x4 guys were getting stuck in.
