I would have said this was not possible on a stock vehicle with stock wheels and good tires. But mine are slipping as well. Had them marked the last time I had them balanced and rotated. Guess what one front tire and one rear tire are no longer lined up. Rear tire is worse. But still. They are stock size Nitto Ridgegrapplers and I run 60psi in them.

Mine are, factory rims and factory size tires. Two of mine have definitely slipped.

And to add I do pull a 18 ft trailer with a jeep. It shows 17k and some change total combined gross vehicle weight on cat scales. Pull it about once a month. Have pulled it twice since last tire balance for a combine 1000 miles.

They are turned in the opposite directions. The rim has turned farther than the wheel turned in the rear and less on the the front. Just wanted to add all the info I could. Rear tire is the passenger side and front tire is the passenger side.
So i guess the front slipped under hard braking had to do a panic stop with the trailer yesterday.
The only time I have used 4wd lo is on gravel or loose surfaces. I have the 2wd lo kit and use it to park my trailer.

This is why using Centramatic or Balance Master dynamic balancers help so much. I would have expected the right rear to have slipped as that is where the most torque is applied on acceleration. I would have expected the fronts to be about the same though.

On my jeep I have rotated Goodyear MTR as much as 30 degrees in one four wheeling trip. Now I was running low tire pressure on very grabby tires on rocks where they can get a lot of bite. But rotation is natural and why rebalancing is recommended every 5-8K miles.
 
Have not removed my balance weights wondering if I should. They might be fighting the centramtics once the tire slips a little.
 
I had no idea this could occur on the streets. I'll have to mark mine and see what they doing pulling my cattle trailer
 
I’ve noticed minor rotation on most my rigs. But none of them are more than a few inches from where they were mounted.

Maybe that’s the real benefit of tire rotations, slip them backwards. ;);)
 
I was scoping out new rims and the sort ran across the Hunter Road Force process Rickson has as an adder for Match-Mount and Balance.

Basically from what I recall they take the high of the tire and the low of the rim and match them up.

Don't think it would cause major issues but would be interesting for sure if they could shift them a bit and see the difference.
