New tires are bad....part 2

As some of you may remember, I bought some Nitto grapplers about a month or so ago. Along with some Eagle alloy wheels. I had a terrible bounce and vibration after they were mounted. After numerous attempts by several tire places, one determined that all 4 were out of round.
So I ended up sending them back to Discount Tire Direct, and they sent some new ones to replace them. So this week, I'm finally getting them back on. I also bought some hub-centric rings to mount on them, because one of the Eagle alloy rep guy told me that I would need them since our trucks are hub-centric and the wheels are lug-centric. I'm hoping this will take care of the problem, so I can finally enjoy my new wheels and tires. I'll keep everybody posted during the week. Wish me luck!!

The rings cost about $20.00 I bought them at a Big-O tire, they are a Eagle dealer. I'm hoping that will cure my problems. If not, then its got to be the truck its self.
