So I got my new TBSS rims and 420s put on a few weeks ago and I've noticed a weird ring around each of the tires. The ring starts just past the tread almost on the sidewall. I'm running 40 psi in the tires and the truck is riding fine. Is this ring common with new low profile tires or is this something I should get checked out?

Thats a chicken strip. Get that thing laid over further in the turns and they will go away :)

looks to me like it's riding on the shoulder a bit which could be indicative of low PSI. you shouldn't be getting that much lean out of a low pro.
