Default Bump Steer with 35's

Anyone experiencing bump steer running 35's? It seems like every little bump I hit the steering wheel shakes back and forth...

Your tire store likely inflated your tires to the spec listed on the sidewall. They're over inflated by 20 to 30 lbs. Air 'em back down to 30 - 35 lbs. and enjoy!

It was a lot easier with the Wrangler... centering the steering wheel, adding a Heavy Duty Steering Stabilizer... !!!

I'm running the new Goodyear MTR's (35's) on stock wheels. I have about 9K on them. I haven't noticed the problem your describing.

I'm running 315 Yokohama Geolander AT's and it seems like every the steering wheels moves (left to right, right to left) feeling every obstacle in the road. I can be pulling away from a stop light slow and you see the steering wheel going with the road...
