Treadwright GB?

Anyone have any issues with their truck feeling like it wobbles after putting these on? Don't get me wrong I love my tires but since I've put them on it feels like the truck wobbles. I checked all my lug nuts and everything and they are all fine and my shop said they balanced real easily. So just wondering if anyone experienced this and if it was normal

 

Nope sounds like balance problem too me

 

Hmm, I'll take them by over spring break and tell them to look at it

 

Try having them road force balanced.

 

bgr needs to release some info

 

The only thing that comes to mind....other than frustration and confusion, is sheer disappointment. TW says the tires will be within 3 oz. for balancing? Try 7-9 oz. I don't want 6 inch long wheel weights on my truck so we went with Equal tire balancing bags. I believe I will be calling Treadwright in the morning to see what they advise. It took the guy over 2 hours, mount the tire, unmount the tire, turn it 180 degrees, mount it again, over and over and over. This is what I get for trying to save money. The tech said it could be the rims too, but the ProComp Xtreme MT's that were worn out rode like butter, minus the noise.

 

Wow. Mine balanced up great and have never had any problems. Very little weight was used and only on the inside. No vibrations but my truck rarely goes over 80.

 

I hope round 2 of balancing produces better results.

 

never herd this thought it was 8oz for a 33"

this ^^^^

 

I think I decided to just spend the extra $150-200 and get a set of Toyos or something.

 

Once all the little rubber nubbers are worn off the tread, they are going back in for a rebalance.

 

Installed 285/75/16

 

Did you happen to see or ask what they kind of weight they took to balance?

 

Sorry I didn't I got there at 8 am they unmounted my tires and mounted my new ones up and balanced them up and I was out of there by 8:30

 

Oh god damn it dude I wanted to see those in person before I bought and I had no idea you just got wardens! Shit!


I'm the dude you met today with Rodger.

 

Oh damn, maybe next time I'm up you can get a look at them. They look just like a BFG AT

 

Yeah I want to see them up close though. As Rodger pointed out my Dunflops aren't made for what I do with them.

 

Those looks badass, dude.

 

I need to try a different tire shop. I was stuck there for 2 1/2 hours, only 30 min of that was waiting to get my truck in.
Update: They rebalanced the rear tires, lug centric because they do not fit the hub tight, the weight to balance was reduced by 1/2. Much better.
