    Found out today that 3 of my 4 tires are out of round. They are the original bfg MT. Can this be corrected or am I pretty much done with em? I was thinking of lowering the pressure on em and driving around for a week or so to see if that would work.

    My uncle has a set shaved down before to try and get them to balance out. They were as bias ply ground hawgs that were pretty new so they had alot of tread on them anyways still shook the truck afterwards though but not as bad.

    Had that happen to a set of BFG All Terrains I ran on my last Jeep. The noise was unbelievable. Sounded like a jet engine getting ready for takeoff. I had to get rid of them. Drove me bonkers. But, I'm no technician, so maybe there is a way to fix the problem. I'll let others with a lot more knowledge than I have chime in.
