Micky T Mtzs = death wobble?
 

hey my jeep has a serious fetish for the death wobble
any chance its given itl shake it self silly so after a year of throwing money followed by hissy fits at it iv finally got rid of the wobbles by putting my little stock goodyear wranglers back on and boy do they look like smarties (not to mension they suck at everything)
im about to buy some new tyres
tossin up between Pro comp Xterrains and some Micky T muddies (micky Ts r heaps cheaper)
has any1 had any issues with these tyres causing death wobble
iv herd certain tyres can b bad for it
i dont wanna go blow another $1500 on something i cant use
33" BFs were giving me troubles b4 but they were second hand so they could have some serioud flat spots

I have 33'' BF muds on mine and they are fine. I would buy the BF over any other tyre on the market as they are the best for on road and off road :) Most death wobble happens because of your panhard rod. Check your bushs.

the wobbly will usually start in the suspension, not the tyres (although not always) but bigger tyres have more flex and therefore accentuate the wobbles.

Check all of the bushes.

I had shocking wobbles in the Pootrol, solved with a new panhard bush and a load bearing washer.


and BFGs are way overrated anyway :p

High Pressure in Tyres - Suspension review.

That will eliminate the wobbles -

Whatever tyre you look in to for your application will wobble to some degree.

I wouldn't buy BF Goodrichs anymore. My old man only ever used them and never had any problems till a couple of years ago when 5 pairs in a row let the tread go within a 6 month period. He found out from the tyrefitter that BFs were now being built in China and the standard wasn't as good anymore. I've used Maxxis before and now have Mickey Ts MTZs which are pretty good.
