Okay, this is really odd. Can anyone figure out what is going on? Every time I put a set of BFG AT's on the XJ I get major death wobble. I have tried different sets of 33/10.5/15 and always, the XJ shakes so violently I expect the doors to fall off. Swap the 32" swampers back on, & everything is fine! After one episode with the BFGs, I put the Swampers back on, ran 'em 4 hours to Rausch, wheeled and drove back home, no problem. I have swapped 3 sets back & forth always with the same results. One set BFG has AR aluminum wheels, and the other set has Soft 8's. Both load range C, no dry rot, no sidewall bulges ... in fact both sets are like new with nubbies still on. So why won't my Jeep run them? :dunno:
I know someone is going to say the BFGs are bad, but tire shops have told me that they're fine, & they're balanced. Besides I sold the aluminum set & the guy has had zero problems with them. My theory is that the sidewalls can't support the weight of this 4400 pound pig, but that makes no sense.
Any tire gods out there with some wisdom?
