Default TIRES ???

The mechanic at the dodge dealer told me today that the BFG AT tires are not good to run on my truck. He said that another guy came in with the "death wobble" and they could not trace it to anything after replacing multiple other parts. When the guy changed tires the wobble went away and never came back. Has anyone heard of the BFG's causing the problem or at least adding to the problem. I once had 295/75/16 on my other 2001 and had no problem. They were E rating I think not D. ANy thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

im running them right now on my truck, no wobble, im gonna replace them this spring, theyve got 65k on the now. As for not cleaning out, they do okay until your in deep sticky mud which im hardly off road in mine, too much money in the drive train to do that with(ive got a beater to do that with), on wet roads they are much better then some but mine do slide around turns a little and spin at intersections in the rain. Im gonna run TOYO open country ATs, much cheaper and ive heard several good things about them. I think that mechanic was smoking something or just plain doesnt know what hes talking about.
