Saw an escalade with a 3" lift and 24's... your tour would make it run and hide.

lol

I should have went with the 45's... would have added another .7"... but I didint.

Quick question, i notice that the car seems to pull to either sides by itself, and especially when braking hard, it will turn the wheel quite a bit...

I had the tires balanced when I got them on... what could this be? Alignment, unequal inflation? I would think they send you home with equal tire pressures..

Brake rotors are warped. Get the Stazi kit with the sweet non-dusting pads

Sounds like your tires are tracking the ruts in the road. This is normal with certain tires.
