I'm thinking they will. Here's a table of tires in the same class. They're up there.

I don't really care about noise, which is it's lowest rating. They definitely can't be beat for the price.

It's going back to him in the next week so he can mount and balance my tires I'm going to be getting. I'll have him check everything out then. It's all under a 90 day labor warranty and 12 month parts warranty so it's not going to cost me any more to get it fixed, assuming he does not find anything new that is broken.
I believe this is the first time I've ever quoted myself. Here goes. The wheel bearing is fine, it's my pads that are almost done that are making the noise. The clunking I heard underneath was the bolt going through the swaybar link. It was way too long and when the wheels were turned and the suspensions compressed, it rubbed. He cut the bolt on both sides and now I have no more issues. My ABS light is on because of some brake switch or something like that. If anyone has anything to help me out with that, please let me know.

As far as the ABS light goes, without reading the codes from the EBCM (electronic brake control module), this is just a guess... Check over all of the wiring to/from the front wheel speed sensors (WSS). For the later 2nd gens, you can adjust the air gap for the sensors to improve the mV-AC output.

BTW, you might want to append the title of this thread to let others know that you are still fightin' the good fight with your truck and not tossing in the towel. Based on the initial post, I had written this thread off and I am sure others have as well.

Good thinking with changing the title of the thread... Now, how do I do that?

Well, my tires will be put on next Saturday. I could pay someone to do it much sooner, but I'd rather wait a week to save the money. Also, I purchased a transfer case for it that's only got 80,xxx miles on it. Mine has been slipping in 4 low so hopefully this one doesn't have that problem, or any problem for that matter. That'll be going on on Saturday as well.

Other than that, Swartlkk, I don't believe there's a way for me to change the title of this thread, but if you could do it for me, that would be great. "I'm not done..." would be fine if that's at all possible for you to do. Thanks in advance either way.

Default I guess I'm not done afterall

I just ordered new break pads and shoes for it too. The rotors should be able to be turned, otherwise I'll be running to Autozone for new ones when I go to change them. I thought this would change the title, but I see you did that for me. Thanks.

Well, a couple of things. First of all, I did get swap the transfer cases. The "new" one has the same f*cking issue. The new tires really kick ***. The noise isn't bad until I hit about 60-65 mph, which I honestly hardly ever reach that speed. The brakes are done as well. This was all finished last month some time; I just forgot to update this thread. Anyways, Swartlkk, you can change the title of the thread again. I am selling the truck. I'm not mad at it this time though. I'm selling it because I came across an awesome deal on a Grand Cherokee TSi with extremely low miles. I figure that's going to be a little more dependable daily driver than the Jimmy. If I could afford to keep it and get the Jeep, I definitely would, but I can't have both. Anyways, does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should ask for it?
