If not could it have been an optical illusion created by something on the tire, or on part of teh tire? Even loose lugnuts you will feel by about 35-40mph in my experience. 97tj, Shaved Ford 9 rear, 4:10's, New 35x12.5 BFG KM2's to test!, Warn x8000i, ARB's, Quick Disco's, Hand Throttle, & it's my DD.

I have seen tires with the tread on crooked! making the thing look wobbly.. But usually it is the wheel. Let HER drive it and YOU look at it!

Could not tell when on the jeep but when off it rolled like a drunken sailor on shore leave! (apologies in advance to all sailors drunk or not!)
