I kinda assumed it was something along those lines. But you know they saying about assuming

I asked the same questions too... These new trucks are not like the ones I am used to, to much BS in ownership. The days of reliability, simple maintenance and servicing are long gone. I miss those days.

Ya the older trucks I owned was not such a pita with dealing with little issues. I'm the original owner of this truck and have been fighting steer tire problems since day one. Go to a tire place tell them what I do etc. Go with what they recommend. I'll either run these out till I can't and deal with the vibration or after I go down to Atlanta to have some issues taken care of then replace them. Thank you all for your suggestions and guidance

That vibration, is it in the front end or feels like it is in the drive line? I had a vibration with those regional tires, but only at certain speeds. Once I rid myself of those tires, no more vibration and I thought I was driving a new truck. I believe whoever is selling you those tires is taking you for a ride, I bet he has sold you a few sets... You could not give me another set of those rolling abortions.

The vibration is mainly in the front end. Don't notice it till the tires have roughly 50000 miles. Which is when they start showing the great wear pattern. I've bought tires from separate places because of were I was when I needed them. In the Indy area there isn't a real good mom and pop tire place . There's only one and they sell Yokohama tires and I got even less miles out of those.
