Wheel balancing

According to http://www.gsp9700.com/pub/search/FindLocations_Canada.cfm East side Dodge has a road force balancer.

probably best to keep information to personal experience.

When I was trying to run my Interco TrXus MT's at 60 (They are max inflation 80Lbs and are 8 or 10 ply equivalent)... they ran fine, but someone said that at that pressure it was like a balloon, any little thing would cause them to bounce due to the high pressure and lack of "give".   Right now I'm running 25 Lbs and I do still have some vibes, but nothing like what I had before I found the out-of-round culprit tire.

In know way should you ever run 60 psi on a jeep, just a fact of required on a 10 ply.   Run what your door sticker states as a start.

I have an 07 JK and I had a couple of the factory tire separate on me... they had a hard time balancing them.  I ended up replacing them all.

well its still ongoing. I can't find anything wrong with the tires.  I'm starting to think its a vibe from the wind. I go to work and some times on the same streach of road it vibes and some times nothing and the only thing changing is wind and temp.  I wonder if something wlse is viberating and its transfering out to the wheels ( or that is what i feel and think its wheels)  All that is done is a bumper and winch and a leveling spacer in the front.

well rotating from side to side may cause your tires to seperate once they are on one side the belts bend slightly one way and when u run it on the other side the belts are gunna want to bend the other way wich may cause seperation.  at the places ive worked we never rotate tires from side to side only front to back. and at my current job at the ok tire in Canmore we have never had any complaints and we do alot of tires.

What has been mentioned to me and what I have noticed  in the past is that higher ply rated, load range E tires are generally on vehicles that carry higher wait so the side wall defelection is stiff. At times these side walls take time to warm up and flex especially when left 35-40 psi and create a lope or vibration when driving. A light Jeep does not have the weight to work the tire, therfore never really illiminating the vibration. A bit lower pressure may actually allow tire to be smoother as the wait of the jeep may work on the tire, softening it and smoothing it out. Just got to play around and see what works for you I guess.

Always monitor air pressure against tire pressure as well as I assume you want to wear out the the whole tread width at the same time. Ride quality etc may suffer, as there needs to be a comprimize somewhere.

This is just my opinion, but i would never put 10 ply tires on a jeep. I assume the only reason anyone would do this is to have a stronger side wall for protection, but ride would definetly suffer.

For eg, I hate the ride of my loadrange E - 10 ply tires on my duramax. but due to payload, I have no choice. With a load on it is alot smoother. In no way does a street driven jeep need this so why do they put these tires on new? I would love to see a jeep dealers / manufactures answer. They may not vibrate new but I bet alot of them do after a while.
