Anyone run "big o" brand tires? Any problems? Mine don't seem to wanna balance and there only 32/11/18. Any thoughts?

We have big-o here in cali but never used them.
Used to run older bigfoot ats on my truck, best all terrain tire every made, then they changed the tread design and it sucked. I have always had good luck with them though, did you buy them from a big o, they are usually pretty good about stuff like that.
Go in there raise a fuss
Pretty sure most big os are independently owned so talk to the owner of the place

i was a service manager for big o tires. the a/t are fair tires. if they can't get the vibes out tell them to road force them and match the heavy spot to the wheel. if they have exessive force they have to replace with new one. the x/t is the better tire tho. i had a set of x/t's on my stepside in a 35/11.5 and loved them. drove on street for a yr and still looked new. even chased my buddies ford on 42's every where he went at our local park. i even got to pull he out. he was po'ed. i was smiling tho.(yeah i got pics).
shows you how long ago I had them I think mine were xts but right after the xts went from a mud type tire to an all terrain type, I agree they are awesome tires

the new x/t's are great. they are a aggressive all terrain that works good in the mud. clean good and no road noise

I bought mine used. There are no dealers around here, they were fine till I put like 10000 miles on them. I thought I knocked a weight off but it didn't. Its bad only at highway speeds and around 45-50. Mine are the xt's. I like them and they make my titan look mean but don't know why they started vibrating so much. I have probly 13000 miles on them now and they have no signs of wear on them. And even though its only a 2wd I've followed a few 4wd around and went where they did with little to no problems so I want to keep them.

look at the DOT # on the tire(should be around the rim area on one side) the last 4 digits will tell you how old they are. the last 2 are the year, previous 2 are the week in that year.
if only 3 they are 90's model. there was some models that had seperation problems.
ex: dot xxxx xxx 4508 = 45th week 2008
dot xxxx xxx 418 = 41th week 1998 or 88
