Well, I got my tyres fitted and am very pleased with how they look.

They didn't manage to balance them as the machine kept throwing up an error code. I've used the search function and can see that a few of you have had the same issue. I'll see what happens when I fit them come Spring.

Thanks Mick, that is what I have understood to be a good move if required from looking at other threads.

I'd be interested to see just how balanced they are as is but might just go straight for the beads in an effort to avoid having to mess about.

Your wheels look great. Hung my nose over the stainless nuts but ended up just going oem. Will look again at stainless asand when I get them on and fitted for balance, steering lock etc.

At he end of the day they are big numb wheels on big numb truck so they won’t be perfect but it’s finding the best you can get.

Since having my last set of KM3s fitted I have been running with no weights and no beads, and no problems. You can always add beads later if you need to, and you may find that they don't need any balancing at first.

Hey all. I’m after a set for my Wolf for return to Ukraine shortly . I can buy new for £240 a wheel plus vat but just a long shot if anyone knows where a second hand set might be available before I buy .. I’ll be using run flats also for obv reasons as I’ll be de mining in hot areas . Cheers Gary
