I had mine equal balanced and it was horrible, I run weight balance on the front's and inner rear and left the equal in the outer back because those huge weights look like crap.

I have had mine on about five weeks. I really like them on my 2wd. The only problem so far is American Force drilled the valve stem holes too large on the rear inner steel wheels and I have had a constant slow leak. They are now shipping me two new steel wheels at no charge to replace the two bad wheels on my truck.

I love mine
I would suggest running 50 to 60 psi in the tires. Makes for a softer ride.
Also balance the tire and the adaptor together.

Sorry, I have been busy all day. Two SUPER easy choices. (1) Call David @ The Dually Stop. (2) Get the new 255/70 Goodyear G164 tire! It is the BEST tire out there for all purpose use!

David will hook you up!

On a side note, get them spin-balanced. It makes them ride sooo well!

On the air pressure side, I run 45psi in front and 25psi in all 4 rears. Rides like a dream and has amazing traction in bad weather!

what do you mean by equal balanced?? Is that were they use the powder in the tires??
A few days ago I mentioned using all aluminum rims in the back. and you mentioned that they can fuse together. Well when I ordered my tires I found out their is a ring you can put between them to prevent any scuffing they were about $3.50 each any tire dealer should be able to get them!
Dwiggs you were right David at the dually stop got me a good price on my adapters!!
