New procomp 7089's and Duratracs

So the new wheels and tires are here. got the shop to Mount them today but they are having trouble balancing them for some reason is saying the need over a kg ow weight :s haha I think there is just something wrong with the machine. anyways has anyone else had any difficultys balancing this tire? I got procomp 7089 6on5.5 16x8 and 285/75/16 wrangler duratracs...hopefully they fit. I was really suprised at how beefy the tire is compared to photos i have seen of them. happy so far!

heres a couple teaser shots



getting the nitrogen!



I will post pics as soon as they are on!


EDIT!

all done and mounted now!

 

was does filling them with nitrogen do?

 

puts an extra $5 per tire into the shops wallet

 

x2

 

Haha you got that right! good thing i work at the dealer so its free

 

you have a lift right? Cause in your avatar you look stock height...probably the angle of the pic though

 

The Duratracs are beefy as shit for sure! I saw them on another members truck (Cortland) in person and mistook them for 285s at 1st! he's running them with the black 16" Konig countersteers and it looks awesome!!!

 

Yes since that picture I did Bilsteins @ .85 and Eibach coils and AAL in the rear. I know im going to have to lose the front flaps and some more trimming.. Im just taking it as it comes.

 

Yeah i had only seen photos before and when they arrived and they are very aggresive in person

 

Your gunna need to raise them to 1.75 or 2.5...

 

cant wait to see them on. im debating duratracs or km2s.

 

I dont think thats correct with the Eibach coils? someone else can come in if im wrong but they are lift coils right? I think with Eibachs alone at 0 they would give me 1.6"

 

you'll be okay with the eibachs and the billys set at .85


:Edit: Thats about 2.5" right there

But them duratracs do run big so just be prepared for some trimming. Maybe getting your cab mounts chopped wouldn't be a bad idea either

 

I had to get one of my Duratrac's replaced, took about 8oz of weight while the rest took below 3oz.

 

Thats not that uncommon for such an aggressive tire (so i'm told anyway)

 

well i hope thats not the case! ive been exited all week haha

 

Not to get you down...but same thing happened to two of my buddy's duratracs. Had to replace them a week after buying.

 

SOOOOOOO bad news. got them balanced but with a shit ton of weight.. unfortunitly with all that weight it wond clear the calipers so they would like to try Dynabeads. ive read mixed reviews on them some people say they work great others say they dont.. at this point i just want a solution!

 

call goodyear!

 

Make sure they are using the right adapter when they put them on the balancing machine.

Discount has been 2 for 2 on fucking up when they tried balancing my tires because of this. Had to take it back both times for them to fix.
