ITP Tires

[Cookie44]

Has anyone experienced problems with Mud Lite XTR tires that seemed to have a twisted belt? Tire sets up steering wobble that only grows worse with speed. Have had them remounted and the rim is straight, still no joy. Mounted on 2019 Sportsman XP 1000. Tire is 27x9x14.

From what you describe it does sound like a belt has slipped.

Jack the wheel off the ground and put a block of wood real close to the tyre and then see if the gap changes as you turn the wheel.. You'll only be able to check from knob to knob but it might show up an out of round or a bulge.  Try the same thing at both sides to check for side bulges.

Sorry to hear about the issues you've been experiencing with your Mud Lite XTR tires. It sounds like you've already tried remounting them and checking the rims for straightness, but the steering wobble persists. It's possible that there could be a problem with the tire itself, such as a twisted belt, which can cause these types of issues.

In this case, you may want to consider reaching out to the manufacturer of the tire to see if they can help you diagnose the problem or offer a warranty replacement if the tire is found to be defective. Alternatively, if you purchased the tires from a dealer or retailer, they may be able to assist you with resolving the issue.

If the wobbling is severe or affecting your ability to safely operate the vehicle, it's best to avoid using it until the problem is resolved.

Probably not great. Did you have any big impacts?
