those are comming from a guy that wanted to run 42" TSLs on I90, and did not like the tire strobbing up and down 6" at 45mph

I'd think 4-6 oz should be closer...

I dont think it will make a difference.

How does it feel slow? Does if feel like something is out of round driving at 5mph?

consensus online is too much doesnt hurt...


feel good at slow speeds. as you climb 15-25 it gets progressively worse. feels like i can induce DW at anything over 30-35 (speedo isnt working)

Have you double checked all the steering and suspension joints for tightness? That won't help the 'horse' feeling, but could definitely contribute to DW.

As you said, doesn't hurt. But if it takes that much weight there's something else wrong there. Maybe the tire has been worn to out of round by a poorly set up vehicle before, or when airing up the beads didn't seat properly which believe it or not happens a lot. There should be a line just larger than the rim all the way around the bead, make sure its equal distance from the rim all the way around. Give them all a good spin and make sure there isn't more then a couple 32nds  of movement up or down and side to side. If all of that checks out, I'd move on to suspension and steering

31s and 5.13s are fun. Needs a line lock.

Seemed to really help the vibes/DW. Took it to 65.
