    Got steering wheel vibration around 65-70mph. Took it to the shop yesterday, got the wheels balanced . Checked the alignment and was told it was good. Still felt the vibration this morning on the highway. Any help?

    2017 Tacoma Off-Road double cab Auto, everything stock except KO2's. Thanks.

    Other than that you may need to road force balance the tires.

    they may need to spin the tire on the rim 180*. a road force balance will check that and roundness.

    also, since stock wheels, make sure they do a proper dynamic balance.

    it amazes me how sensitive these steering racks are.

    There's your problem. I know people who've gone through multiple replacements trying to get K02s balanced, eventually most of them just lived with the slight vibration as they could never get them balanced properly.

    Hey OP were you able to find a solution to this problem?
    I’m having the same issue, it all started when I got new wheels (scs ray 10s).

    So far my KO2s are running really nice and smooth. I hope it stays that way. Got rid of my Cummins Ram because of a vibration.

    Many local 4wd shops here wont sell them and even tire shops don't like to sell them. To me they are the best looking tire out there. I'm doing tires soon just to go with a slight lift, but I wanna steer clear of the possible problems with the BFGs.

    They are the #1 selling all-terrain tire in the country...maybe the world.
