yea but not extreme maybe a foot off the ground or somthing like that. im going to swap the tires again and see the difference. the rimb thickness on the stock is about 1/8" the maxxis tires are tripple that. they're exremely strong.

Really? They look like they were overtightened and stressed it or something. In the one pic it almost looks indented.

really that indentment is from the maxxis's odd shape
