who can I get to balance them? The place I took it to for tracking said 31" tyres won't fit in most tyre balancers. Should I take them to a lorry depot? Cheers

Lorry tyres are not balanced! Find a tyre fitter that can balance them! Most of the big name tyre fitting places do have the correct equipment, its just they don't know how to use it!

Oh, learn something new everyday

4 wheel alinement is so the stearing wheel is set straight

you can get front and rear wheel tracking done seperate

How do you track the back wheels on a jimny then ?

You cant as you already know i was just explaining what the different types of tracking there is but reading it back i should have put on most other cars
