New Rear Tires - now wandering all over???
Help! Yesterday I put two new tires (BFG AT 31's) on the rear of the TJ.
Now for some reason I'm floating down the road with a really weird wandering steering kind of feeling - sort of how it feels when you're driving and get suddenly get blown around by a hard wind. I watched the tires and wheels get put on and didn't see anything out of the ordinary - except that they put the lift on the axle directly on the part where the lower control arms mount to the axle. Today I did a thorough check of everything and can't find anything out of the ordinary. All the tires are inflated to exactly 40 psi (front and rear) as well. No adjustments were made to my steering or suspension - just those two new tires. Any suggestions??

Try lowering the air pressure! That's way to much.

I know this sounds dumb, but double check the lug nuts. Also make sure the load rating is the same as the ones on the front.

Thanks guys - I'm heading to the garage to do both right now.
From a quick search it appears 30 psi would be the best range?? |

40psi is way to much, try with 30, if it seems to do the same lower by 2 until you get it right

Wow - what a difference. I'm at 32 and it is mucho better.
I guess at 40 there just isn't enough tire touching the ground huh? Sort of like running the jeep on high heels. |
