Got the new Toyo Proxes' slapped on and balanced this morning. Along with 8 new valve stems and i had to replace a broken stud in the rear.
and... Thank God the wobble is gone!
These tires felt great. Obviously you feel the road a little more than the big ol bubble 265/70/18's i was rockin on the funky Nissan Titan wheels. But i took it up to about 80 and no shakes.
i do love the way these toyo's look and i am very happy that i stepped down to a 40 series instead of the 45's that were on it. Should help once she comes down to earth.

Dang that's a steal for those tires! Might have to look into Amazon for that cuz I'll be needing tires for my NNBS 20s soon.

yeah, not much more than all those terrible off-brands on eBay. i used to get my tires from a place in Cali. But Toyo's for that price seemed damn good. First time i bought tires off Amazon

Foose wheels have 2 stems on every wheel. one for TPMS (if needed) and one for regular. 1 is real close to the outer edge of the inside of the wheel. the other is close to the center of the weel. they are both behind the face. you can see em here
