    I'm well aware of the miniscule percentage of duratracs owners in the world that posted their problems on here. A good shop can balance the tire no problem.

    Mine have 26k and they are getting louder and louder. I don't really mind but the wife complains. I have one that cannot be balanced now too and it causes some vibes.
    They are still awesome offroad both in sand and mud without going full-on mud tires.

    Whenever I have wheel or tire work done I always recheck the torque when I get home, then after about 200 miles. Even on steel wheels I do this.

    I got 4 new tires for my truck on Monday and guy said they inflated them all to 35 PSI when they installed them. After installation they did an alignment and everything seems to be going OK.

    So I check my tire pressure this morning - everything was cold, hadn't driven it for 15 + hours. The front driver's side tire is at 35 PSI while the other three tires are at 40 PSI. This puzzled me because the day before I got the new tires, my tire pressure warning light came on and I had to add air to the front driver's side tire (so same situation with the old tires). Could this just be a coincidence? Or do you think there is a reason my front driver's side tire is consistently lower than the rest?

    After driving for a while I checked the pressures again and the front driver's side came up to 37 PSI and the other tires went up to 42 PSI.

    I brought the truck back to the tire place today to have the lugs re-tourqued (they recommend doing so after 50 miles) and I had them check the front left tire for leaks and had them even out the pressure.. Everything seemed to be fine. But after getting home the front left is still 3 PSI lower than the others.

    I'm not too worried about a slight difference in PSI but it's strange I'm having the same problem with two different sets of tires.
