Hey all, I had my silent armors installed today...what a difference!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've had a shimmy on this truck since I bought it with origional tires/wheels. I learned something new today. What tire shops don't tell you is there's something called a "road force" balance machine that most places don't bother using because of the time it takes (in my case 2 hours, I watched them the entire time). NO MORE SHIMMY FOLKS! Finally, this FJ drives like it should and with a bigger/heavier tire no less(275/70-17). Most tire shops will do the 30 second spin balance on your tires and send you shaking down the highway. don't let em do it to you. Insist on this balance. I have to plug Nick (coolest guy ever) at the Discount tire co at 1709 E. Southern in Tempe (phone # (480) 839-0487). He wouldn't let me leave until these tires were perfect. Let me just say that I never thought the J would drive this perfect. I will say these tires ride a little stiffer than the stock tire but the road noise is almost nothing. Some of the best $ I've spent on the J to date. By the way, they also hooked me up with the wheels you see in the pics. Let me know if anyone has any questions.
