just got a set of used tires, 2 are one kind and the same with the other 2, truck drove fine before, and after i think, then today i get on the interstate for the first time with them and get up to about 60-70 and the steering wheel shakes bad, along with the whole truck, im almost positive its the tires, maybe im just being paranoid, i don't know, u guys have any suggestions....

 

get them balanced and while the shops doin it have them check for slipped belts

 

will do, they were supposed to balance them at the used tire place, but after i left i noticed the weights that were on 2 of the tires had been moved a few inches, and 2 of the wheels had no weights on them at all....
i do recall them saying something about "bounce" balancing...
whatever that means......

 

Get them all Road Force Balanced. This will tell you the uniformity of the tires in pounds the less the better. Doing so will allow you to know if its a tire or a balance issue.

 

a roadforce balance isnt always cheap and takes about an hour or two. about the only time we roadforce at our shop is when the alignment specs are good and the vehicle still wants to pull. i think "bounce balancing" might be like a bubble balance which is pretty much useless on a radial tire. trust me i work at a tire shop ive prolly done a million sets lol

 

AN HOUR OR 2!!!! wow you guys are slow ill do 4 tires in 30mins. TRUST ME IT DOESNT TAKE THAT LONG

READ SIG

 

yeah about 30mins to just roadforce tires already on rims. i apologize, its about an hour and 30 or so to breakdown-install- and balance 4 if you wanna take your time. closer to an our if your tryin to bust ****

 

thats including time waiting on the parts dept to bring tires out^^^

 

too just road force 30mins

Break down all four 15min
Mount 10min with old machine 20 with new (look at new thread)
Balance all four 20min
Install 10

 

like i said about an hour. for just a regular mount and balance. unless its like a 45 series or 40 series. and gotta love your run flat 35 series hahah

 

Balance did the trick...
