so you're talking regrooving the tires? Not "comp-cutting"?.... your best bet is just to get another set. Its really not worth it and not many places do it anymore. Plus, what you spend doing that, you'd have a good portion of a new set already paid for.

I’ll keep searching, I just have two tires in particular that are real ****ty. I’ll deffinetly need a new pair by winter! I’ve seen On face book ppl doin it for 15 a tire which didn’t seem that bad. However the two people Ive seen post it either took down their post or live hours away
Death Wobble
Hey y’all, so I just installed a 4.5 inch RC lift and I started to get death wobble at about 45 miles an hour. Like the crap your pants kind of bad death wobble. So I started looking under the Jeep and found that I got two ball joints that are shot and my track bar is still not level even though when I installed the lift I had to drill another hole to relocate the track bar to make it parallel. So I’m buying new parts for those here pretty soon, but my question is should I wait to install those after I buy new tires and get an alignment in the next two weeks or so or just install them right away? Also will an alignment get rid of the camber in my tires? Thanks for the help!!

X2 on this - and just an addition, I wouldn't re-groove any tire unless it's a thick tire such as a Swamper or Bogger. I don't think there's enough rubber plies on regular radial tires to accomodate that.

Hello everyone,
I have a 99 XJ with a BDS 8.5 inch long arm lift.
Currently im looking into getting new tires seeing as the old ones are pretty much done.
Currently im running 35x12.5x15 BFG Mud terrains, I liked them for the most part (Besides how loud they are)
I was wondering if there is anyone out there that might have a suggestion on tires I should look into or consider.
Side note:
I am geared with 4.56 yukon gears and have TrueTrac lockers front and rear.
The motor is a 4.9L I6 from 505 performance
The jeep is a weekend toy, something I drive to work on nice days and go play with but I have never done anything to extreme. So sadly I will be the first to admit it is kind of a pavement princess but any time my local jeep group does any run's and or trips it goes.
