I did a search, sorry if it has been talked to death....
I have some older Goodyear MT's, like the hummers, but 35's. They are between 10 and 15 years old, and sat under my jeepster for years while the previous owner built it.
I finished the build and have put 3000 miles on it. They have always shimmied a bit, but lately they have been shaking more and more. Today I took it in for a balance, and could see them on the tire machine wobbling quite a bit. The tire guy showed me how much they wobbled. the rims are good, lots of tread left on the tires, and got a perfect balance. Driving home had more wobble then ever! All the steering stuff is new, pretty good drag link angle, ram assist (i know it masks death wobble)...
Are there any tricks to round these back out? or have they been ruined from sitting?
