Okay I put on a new pair of tires and wheels on my truck today and the guy I got them from didn't do the best gluing job and they wobble. Is this gonna be a big problem if I run them like this. I would like feed back from any of you who have dealt with this problem. Or know about it.
 
i dont think you should run like that. it will prolly be easier to flip and when you turn you will prolly be riding rims. thats what happened to my friend and he like flipped every turn. but i think it would be easier if you just glue them on better.

If you are using them more for off road where they are not going to generate the speed that you would on road then you should be ok. You can manually adjust the foams to take some of the wobble out but not completely. Depending on the glue job your friend did will determine whether you are able to fix the problem by regluing your tires yourself. Hope this helps.
 
I think that you didnt glue them on very good. But see if you can get them back off smooth out the surface and then reglue them.....Nick
 
I'd re-glue 'em too. Boil some water and drop 'em in for 15-20 minutes. The tires will come off real easy. This may ruin the rim's finish, but personally I don't give a craps.

Yeah boiling them off and reglueing them will help alot. My cousin has a Savage 25, he got alot of water int he tires on time and his truck would wobble crazy. Think maybe you got some water in your tires? Either way taking them off and reglueing them will be best idea to fix.
 
If you can get them off to re-glue them you could try and balance them with lead tape.
