Hey guys well I decided to bit the bullet and install the Toyo proxe ST II 275/315 combo in hopes of getting rid of that famous Vibration problem that the stealership has not heard of. So even this these new tires the problem is still there but the not run flats seem to help a lil bit, which is just a Band Aid fix to this problem. Overall I would say they ride alot better than the stock Good years! Well here are a few pics of the Tires on the Beast! Enjoy!!

Looking good Jose.....glad you finally went away from the stock goodyears. I love the 275/315 combo. I get compliments all the time on just the tires alone.

Thanks Dave! Yeah they do look nice and ride alot smoother then the Crap Years. I was debating on doing the 265/295 combo instead but I am glad I went this route instead. The only thing that bothers me is that I just sent about close to a Grand and that damn Vibration will not go away. So I still have a few more tricks up my sleeve to see if I can get that Vibration fixed.

looks good i love the back tires.

looks good i love the back tires.

Thanks Vinny! There is nothing like having a Fat ASS tire in the back of our Beasts:D When I first seen the tires I was like holly S**t thats one fat Ass tire I am installing in the rear.

Great upgrade Jeep looks Aggressive !!

I'v had my toyo stII's for 6k miles and cant get them to balance properly, balanced them 6 times. So you might have not picked the best tire to get a rid of the viration issue;). Its the most annoying thing ever to have the beast vibrating all the damn time isnt it!!! I'm calling toyo tomoro to see if I can get replacments.

I don't think its the tire man. Because I know of people switching to another brand like Vreds and Nittos and their jeep is still doing the same thing with the vibration issue. I find it very hard to believe that everyone has bad tires. I have replaced many parts on my brand new Jeep already and the only thing I haven't done yet is swap with someone one that doesn't have the vibration is at 70 MPH. So I am hoping to do that with a member on here that lives close to me and he is still using the stock run flats too. He claims he doesn't have any issues. So I want to see if my problem moves to his jeep. Will keep you posted.

Previously I havnt had a problem with vibration so for me I think it is the tires. Well i take that back, for about 6k miles a limped along with the goodyear crapflats that were out of balance from the tread separtion, could that wreck anything? What all have you replaced? Just recently (1k ago) got rear end completly rebuilt again, new t-case again and rear driveshaft. What else should I push for to be replaced. It is ungodly annoying!! Just because of that I dont even like to drive the damn thing, i rather drive my 160hp subaru outback lol

hey I thought Sarge was the one to figure out that the vibes was coming from the rear drive shaft..I think it was him.....tried diffrent tires/alingment/tire balancing etc..& had the dealer warranty the rear drive shaft,then it went away..

Hey Jose,they look really nice,I should have mine on today but we'll see.I didn't have any vibration with the stock tires even though they were only on for under 5k miles.As soon as the 22's were put on I noticed a 70mph vibration,but it's not bad at all really.I'm gonna have my new ones road force balanced,did you and do you think that is better than normal balancing?Will definitely put pics up when installed and give a verdict!

Have you had it aligned since the drop?
If not, I would recommend finding a good* shop to align it. Especially since you notice the vibes more now with the drop.



*note: not all alignment shops are all that good.

No it was a guy named FLGulf Coaster on here and his vibration is back.

To tell you the truth when I got new Good year tires on the front they intially did normal balancing. Then what I did is take it back to another Just tires and they checked both the fronts with the GPS 9700 machine, which does road force balancing and I found out that the tires were still balced correctly. I personally fell that the road force balancing is just a bunch of Advertising. When I installed thes tires last week and went ahead and did the roadforce balancing just for peace of mind but it did not make a difference.

Looks nice Man!

Did they scuff up those pretty powdercoated/painted rims at all when mounting them>?

Thanks bro! Yeah they put a 1" scuff on the edge of my front left wheel when I told them specifically be be real care full with my freshly powder coated wheel. So I was fuming when I seen that and they decided to bash the company who powder coated them for me. So in the end he said that they would not pay for the damages.

Haven't had it aligned yet Dan since I still have to install my Addco Sway bars and Bwoody Links hopefully this weekend. Once I have all that I will take it to a good Aligmnet shop. Any places you recommend?

Got ya man! Well I have had 2 sets of different tires put on, New Rotors and pads, 2 Rear drive shafts, Outer Tie rod ends, Multiple Aligmnents and balancing of tires as well. I know how you feel about this issue cuz it bugs the hell out of me too. have you ever tried any one else tires and wheel that don't have the vibration issue?

I remember reading this too just not sure who posted it.

This could help. I hear its recomended to get an alignment after doing a mod like lowering springs.

Yeah will do that when I install the rest of my Suspension parts man. I doubt that will get rid of the Vibration though.

Bars and links won't effect alignment.

I had mine aligned when brand new and also aligned again after the springs.
The lowering springs effect the alignment.....which since you said it got worse after the springs makes me think that it could have something to do with your alignment.

I've got 13K on my 265/295 STII's and just got them balenced today. They were riding fine but at higher speeds.... 85+ I was starting to get a touch of vibration so I tested out my lifetime balencing. They said they were pretty far out. Hmmm..... the drive home was nice and smooth though. For them being "far out" they still rode pretty damn good. I think I only noticed it b/c I drive it all the time. I don't think anyone else could tell. Go figure.

Thanks Harrison! You see you are the perfect example that a Jeep with Toyos will ride smooth with no shimmy at 70 MPH.

Don't know about that though. My STI's had the inner wheel rip all around them. I dig my ride. I've got no compliants!

Do you think it could be the front driveshaft? No I havnt, no srts around me im in the sticks lol. When I go down to the cities again I know guy that has a jeep, ill try to c if he will let me. But he has black chromed rims I dont know if he will let them get out of his sight lol

Yeah its quite possible as well I think. If the problem doesn't go a way with this wheel swap then I will persue the front drive shafts man.

Why the 275/315 sizes do they have original sizes that our truck comes with and if not could you guys post the exact tire size I think I'm ordering these this weekend my goodyears are falling apart as we speak! Thanks Guy's

Yea thats my plan if I still have the jeep by the next time I go down to the cities, might be getting rid of it. Just too time consuming with this thing.

looks awsome and yea screw goodyears never liked em

looks awsome and year screw goodyears never liked em

Thanks bro!

Thanks bro! I am Happy with them even though my Vibration issue did not go any. It sucks cuz I practically took a brand new set of tires off my Beast even tho they were the Crap Years.

The Toyo don't com in the stock size. I bought the 275/315 combo and just checked them today and they do not rub on the sway bar links at all. I looked at the gap and its about almost 1" between the tire and the sway bar link. The only place that I did see very little rubbing is in the Passenger side rear wheel well cover. So overall I ham happy with these tires!


Toyo Proxe ST II

275/40R20 for the fronts
315/35/R20 for the Rears

Has anyone ever had their driveshafts balanced ? I could see where this could be an issue at higher speeds. I dont think it would cost very much and could be done relativley quick at any driveliner shop. Just a thought on this vibration bs

my dad hated his goodyears on his 03cobra and 01zo6.

Looks good, how much can i expect to get these tires ?

maybe high speed balance?

I think most of the vibrations are caused by the way the transfer case works, i have to mhp tcm and when i dont turn the traction controll off it will launch like its off even if it spins almost no noise, when i turn the traction controll off it makes all kinds of noises. Id like to make my truck 2wd just to get rid of this peice of sh1t transfer case ! but i have a vibration under part throttle acceleration at all speeds ? not sure what is causing that, probally still the transfer case.

Looks good, how much can i expect to get these tires ?

I paid 143 a tire for the fronts and 194 a tire for the rears from Discount tire. They were able to match Tread Depots pricing on these and installed they charged me 921.00 out the door.

Yeah I have had 2 Rear drive shafts installed on my Jeep from the Stealership and its still there.

Yeah these Jeeps tend to make a whining noise when ever you turn the traction control off because even though its off the Transfer case is still moving and thats what you hear bro.

WHY WHEN i TRYING TO ORDER THESE TIRES THEY'RE TELLING ME IT WON'T FIT???? CORRECT ME IF i'M WRONG PLZ sorry about cap locks LOL

These guys are wheel and tire specialist

I can play it safe and just order the Nitto 420s that come in our stock sizes

Trust me the 275/315 combo will work man. I have them on my Beast right now and they do not rub. Where are you ordering them from and which Brand are you going with? What ever you do don't get the Bridgstone Duelers Runflats. Those tires stick out to much IMO.

As said by these guys, the 275/315 combo works! I have as well:
315/35R/20 rear
275/40r/20 fronts
I have the Nitto Invo's. Rides great and no rubbing at all!

If you are ordering from an online site change your vehicle to a BMW x5 and order the tires you want. Tire rack can be a pain if that's where you are trying to buy from.

Yeah good call Chad! Tell them you have a 2008 BMW X5 with 20" wheels and you will be good to go!

What ever you do don't get the Bridgstone Duelers Runflats. Those tires stick out to much IMO.


All personal preference.
They don't really stick out much, IMO.

Getting my on tomorrow so excited but I'm going with 275/255 combo instead finally no more crapyears. I have roadside and I'll be sure to buy a portable air compressor and stop leak, finally I'll be at piece of mind. My cost will be $1260 CAD that includes the tires balance installation and alingment. what do you guys think??

Not sure what that trasnlates to in US dollars but I ended up paying $921.00 for my 275/315 combo installed and road forced man. Thats just for the tires.

I can feel the difference already hello Toyo's 275/255 combo and goodbye crapyears the backs are a snug fit. Overall its a better choice for me due to our winters here in the north smaller tire cuts through the snow alot better. My next questions is what do you suggest I keep in my rig incase of a flat???

Do what i do , Keep praying !!!!!:p

Seriously LOL I need better advice then that ???????????????

Jose I went thru 2 sets of stock tires, toyo proxes, mich latitudes and finally to Vreds. It was not til I got the Vreds did the vibrations I had stop BUT I did have my rear driveshaft replaced at the same time so go figure!!

i had no vibrations at all coming from my truck until 2 days ago i was at my job replaced both front and rear pads and rotors then left got on the highway and had a slight vibration around 70 to 80 mph. I hope mine just needs to be balanced got winter tires coming in so ill see what happens

Yeah I have followed your posts on hear Wade and know you have gone thru a few sets of tires already. I have ridden in a 09 Jeep with 9000 miles on it and that jeep has the Vreds installed and has the same vibration/ shimmy issue that I have. Also one other member that I know as well has the Vreds and he claims he has the shimmy as well. I as well have had my rear drive shaft replaced twice already and it has not made a difference. So for me its ether the wheels or the tires and wheels are not balanced properly I would think. No that you mention it that member that I was talking about just removed his tires and wheels for the winter so I will ask if we can swap the 2 fronts to see what happens. Thanks bro!

Let us know what you find man. I as well have replaced all pads and Rotors as well.

First off, I would like to use my first post on the forum to say that Jose has a sick looking Jeep with those gun-metal wheels. Secondly, have you driven it much in the snow/icy conditions yet with the Toyo's, and how does it compare to the GY's? I live in Michigan and love the way those tires look. Thanks,

John

Thanks bro for the comments! To tell you the truth I really don't drive my Jeep in the snow or ice but have driven it a few times already and it seems to be fine in the snow and ice. I store it in the winter but on occasions I will bring it out. Also I never drove the Jeep in the snow or ice with the stock tires so I really can't compare. The Toyos are nice and I think are probably one of the best tires out here that out an all season non run flat tire. Look around and I am sure you will find some posts of ther Toyos in the snow.

hey guys im ordering some toyo st2s tonight. nwhats the benefit of going 275/315? i love the look, but also im going to put the eibach lowering springs on here. what do u think??
thanks cody
