I finally got my 37's balanced....they are perfect now. I gave up on dynamic balancing...and went back to static only...adhesive on the inside of the rim.
So...I am not throwing off perimeter weights anymore...and they are smooth!...Thank God. I really love this tire.
Drove in 2' of wet snow the other day...with a 1k welder in the back of the rig...and I felt like I was driving a snow cat. Just chugged right along...no slip. Yehaw

The Pro Comp tires went back. When I was rolling them across the street to the UPS truck, I felt a very light “, tump, tump, tump” I looked and had a chance to see inside of the tires, multiple long lumps of different sizes, unevenly spaced. I took a closer inspection and felt the big lumps with my fingers/hands, they felt like if long pieces of metal got trapped when they made the tires, I have seen a lot of naked tires before and this is the first time I have seen this type of thick lumps. (Not a tire builder expert but if the lumps are supposed to be there, they are definatly not in a organized matter)
I was going to replace the tires with 33x12.5x20 Toyo MT or 305x55x20 but a 4.5 lift kit and 35x13x20 Toyo MT will go instead.
Thanks for all of the ideas, will post pictures when the lift kits and new tires are installed.

Wow! Make up your mind already. You gonna stick w/ the new 35's for a little longer this time?
On Edit: That combo will look nice. Hope this set works out better for you!

not sure if someone said it or not but try taking them to a well known dealer and have them road force balance them and that will tell if the tire is bad and if not it will show the best way to mount the tire on the rim with the less weight possible and send the company the recipts
edit: never mind but here is for future ref.

Rotate the front tires to the rear and see if it goes away. If it doesn't then check to make sure the wheels are not hitting or pressing down on something on the hub that would cause a warped or lateral out of place movement of the rotors. Sometimes, drums and hubs have small weights on them that the factory wheels dont hit, but an aftermarket bigger wheel flange may press on it and cause some funky stuff. That happened to me at Schwab, andf I ended up fixing it myself after 3 days of them trying to do it.
