I just installed a set of Titan 589's. 26 x 9 x 12 front and 26 12x12 rear. These are the new M/T tred (from Titan not ITP) and are on the ITP chrome wheels. Has anyone ever tried to have there big wheel kits balanced? These things start to shake at about 45 mph, I am driving a Sportsman HO and some of the long trails I ride have areas you can run 60-plus! The stock wheels and tires were smooth up to what ever full speed is (speed-o only go's to 60)!

Any help?

The new Sportsman 700 grip tires are balanced from the factory. I noticed the weights on there the other day.

Titan MT unbalance? This is the second time I have heard of this. Over at Highlifter.com there is a story over there about a guy with a Rubicon with the same problem.

Is it possible that the progressive lug is too flexible at speed and the alignment of the machine has to be perfect to run this particular tire? I don't know. Perhaps some one that has cured a wobbling 589MT can tell us.
