Default Rearend Movement

Seems I have a little to much movement in the rear of my 2001 when on roads with beat out pavement or on groved roads. Its a little more than trolleying. (Trolleying?? not sure thats the way to spell it)

Thanks

Default Tire removal and installation

I am having new tires put on my 2001 and I bought them from Tire Rack. Can someone tell me who can put these 40 and 45 tires on. My local dealer will not touch them.

Don't know about Bama, but Discount Tire will do it in Dallas, Texas. Won't even flinch.

If you are installing Goodyear Run Flats you may need to go to a Goodyear store that is certified to install them. My local Goodyear isn't qualified and I have to go to a different town or to the Chevy dealer to get them installed. Since there are not a lot of cars that use run flats there are not a lot of tire stores that buy the expensive machine required to install run flat tires.

Default F1 g3

Good year F1 G3 tires but not run flat. I finaly found one guy here in town that says no problem and even knew the tire sensors would need to be reset. He also suggested an alignment to make sure I get good life from the new skins. He seemed very knowledgeable.
Any more advice before I head off in the morning to hve him do it?
