I need help. 31 Mud Terrains
I am going to get some goodyear duratracs this spring. Low funds until then, but until then i have some BFG mudterrains and i have to rotate the things about every other weekend. about 500 miles. Anyway my question is what preasure is everybody running. My tires a starting to get cupped. I rotate but when i move the tires to the rear they do not have enough time to get them smooth before i move them back up to the front. So now all of my tires are cupped and I am tired of my jeep feeling like I am riding in a steam roller. I can not stand the vibes. My alignment is fine it doesnt track. I also verified with my some tools my friend uses to align his dirt track modified. So what can I do to fix my tires. They still have over 50% tread left and I am sick of them. They preform amazing offroad when I need them, but I live at college and I have to get around town and home. What PSI is everybody running. Here is the jeep.
as you can see there is still enough tread no not just throw them away. I just need them to get me to Feb or so. It is almost getting to the point to where I dont want to drive my jeep anymore. This statement makes me feel terrible but I cant handle the vibes.

ooh sounds bad man. well i used to work for NTB(national tire & battery) im sure there is one around your area. i ran into this with some of my wheeling buddies. you might want to look into your shocks, there probably so soft its letting the tires hop while driving. if the cupping is really bad, i dont want to tell you but u might have to get rid of them regardless of how much tread you may have left. once tires start to cup most of the times there is no cure, sorry man.

My shocks are skyjacker soft ride, which are not very soft. Thanks for the help. I dont think they need to be replaced, but I have thought they might. I am thought they might be the culprit behind the cupping so quickly.

What would be a good replacement for my skyjacker shocks? I have a 3 1/2 lift so stockers wont work. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, don't know what to tell you about fixing your problem. However if you can't get it fixed then before they wear too bad, perhaps you should pull them and mount them white letter out to start wearing the other side so you can get a little more life out of them.
