Default front tire HOT
Got back from the woods today and Jeep smelled like hot rubber. Smoke coming from right front tire, entire rim hot to the touch. Tire pressure fine, shifted in and out of 4wd all weekend without a problem. Noticeable "wobble" between 45-55 that wasnt there 2 days ago. Any guesses?

OK, I'll take a guess. Sticking caliper, causing warped rotor, causing wobble during braking. Does it pull to one side?
