no issues with balancing. ALSO forgot to mention i went without the kedge grip because with the kedge grip the tire weats 20% faster.

How do they do in the snow without the Kedge grip? I don't see snow on a regular basis but will be driving in it a few times a year. Other than daily driving they will mostly see loose sandy top over hardpack clay, small creek crossings and maybe some high desert. I have no plans to rock crawl with them.

funny you ask i just went thru about 6 inches this morning. they are fantastic in the snow. I didn’t even shovel out just cleaned my windshield and pulled out. that’s without CDL or TC! i have 3 amigos and no CDL installed.

I don't have CDL since I have an '02 but my traction control works. I think I'm going to try the treadwrights.

Here are the 4
Dick Cepek Radial FC II
Dick Cepek Mud Country
Good Year DuraTrac
TreadWright Guard Dog (nervous a retread with a mostly freeway commute)

Which tire did you get? I am very interested in the Dick Cepek FC-II. Is there anyone running these on their Disco? These tires look great and seem like a great in between an AT and a MT.
