If you don't garage your Jeep, the rings will lose it's luster a bit. Clearcoat would help keep them nice but rocks will jack them up anyway. The off road use thing is just for liability purposes. Technically, it isn't legal to run beadlocks on the highway even though they are totally safe.

Just to be clear, rotation on a tie rod end is totally normal and NOT an indication that it has failed. A shifting side to side or up and down within the tie rod end IS.

Not every tire requires balancing. High quality ones like the kind that Nitto makes typically does not or requires very little. However, IF I feel a need for balancing, I take my Jeep to my local Discount Tire and have them balance my tires for me and using tape weights.

how do you balance those wheels?

IF balancing is needed, I take my Jeep into my local Discount Tire and have them balance my tires for me. However, with a high quality tire like Nitto makes, I don't typically find the need to balance them.

Wow...I mounted up the 37 inch version of that tire on the exact same rim....although I had the hoops powder coated the same color as the wheel. Question....what did you do for balancing? I used beads and am not yet happy with the results.

In my opinion, balancing beads are snake oil. IF I feel a need for balancing, I take my Jeep into my local Discount Tire and have them balancing my wheels using tape on weights.

@@wayalife Thanks for the response! My local Discount Tire will not work on the non-DOT wheels unless they are off the passenger vehicle. I'll need to remove those beads, which is obviously now a pain, and dismount the wheel/tires from the Jeep, but I think the work is going to be worth it. The Jeep is a daily driver in addition to trail duty, and the rear tires get violent around 75 mph.

@@gtjeeper3376 When's the last time you've tried to have your Discount Tire work on beadlocks. I've talked directly to corporate about a year ago and they told me that they've changed their rules across the board and it should no longer be a problem. I tested this out recently and my shop didn't even blink an eye.

@@wayalife Great news! It has been since mid last year that I asked...so maybe a year ago. I'll give it a go and see what happens. Either way I am well advised to remove the glass beads before I do anything....I have been dragging my feet because of the chore it is, but I have to get off my butt so I can comfortably get to the trails!

did you balance each tire? ever use balancing beads?

Only if they feel out of balance and you will know if they do. That said, a high quality tire like the kind that Nitto makes, I typically find that it isn't necessary. In fact, only 2 of the 5 tires you see in this video had yellow dots. But, to your question, IF I feel a need for balancing, I take my Jeep to my local Discount Tire and have them do it for me.

What about balancing the tire?

Fortunately, Nittos make really round tires and for the most part, we have found that balancing isn't needed with them. In fact, of the 5 tires I installed, only 2 had yellow dots. However, IF or when I feel a need for balancing, I take my Jeep into my local Discount Tire and they balance for me. Glad to hear you enjoy our videos.

LOL - it belongs to a good friend of ours who lives on the east coast. We're storing it for him so that he can wheel with us over the summer.

Do you still have to get them balanced afterwards or no?

High quality tires like the kind that Nitto makes don't necessarily require balancing. More times than not, I find that I can just install my tires and go and without any issues. However, IF I feel a need for balancing, I just take my Jeep to my local Discount Tire shop and have them balance them for me.

Toyo and Nitto are the same company and so yes, I do think the same applies. In fact, I can say with experience having installed Toyo MTs many times in the past that they are very very round.
