    15 PSI. 33x12.50R15 MT/Rs (the original non-kevlar ones) on 15x8" wheels on my Ford Ranger. Those were the only tires I've owned that ever did that.

    I don’t know…. I just know that it’ll ride smooth for a couple hundred miles and then start shaking again. And go right back to the same shop and be out of balance. I can’t tell that it’s throwing weights. I have pictures of the weights now. So we shall see.

    I don’t know, it doesn’t make sense to me either… but I know it’ll ride nice and smooth after a balance, but it starts vibing again after a few hundred miles.

    Intrigued and sub’d.

    I ran a couple sets of the AT3’s on my Forester and had great results- never had balancing issues. Hopefully it’s just a bum set

    Or people don’t want to admit they made a bad choice; sort of like trying to validate their purchase.
    People can be funny about purchases, especially when it comes to vehicles, tires, etc. It’s like no one wants to admit when they’ve made a mistake. They’re pride won’t let them admit they made a bad buy.
    I’ve read a lot of posts (here and elsewhere) about Falkens not staying balanced.

    Monitor your tire pressure. I have the H/T02 in stock size on my PRO (great tire by the way) and noticed the tires are not happy below 32 psi (vibration).

    I've had Falken AT3's on my truck since it was new.. They were balanced once when they were put on 5 years ago.
    And are still as smooth as day one.
    Had BFG KO2's on my previous truck. I had to have them balanced 3 times before they settled down.
    They also had terrible wet road manners.

    I'd take my Falken's any day over the BFG's.

    Wow - I have the same tires and they are so so smooth. They have been smoother or as smooth as any other brand I’ve ever run. I’ve had 3 sets of Falkens. What wheels you running? Which truck?

    Just seeing this. I’ve also got SCS hubcentric wheels. Zero issues. Maybe a bad tire batch? Were they all made at the same time in the same factory? Mine were all made in the same week in the USA (buffalo NY).

    You may need to experiment with an entirely new set of tires to figure out if it’s the front end work or the tires - you got the OEMs still?
