    Wanting some feedback on potential balance issues with my Grabber tires. I've got 42k on them and still have some life left in them, but after having an alignment last week I'm still having issues with wobbles at highway speeds. Seems to fluctuate between only slightly annoying and the wobble of death. I'm running pro comp wheels and last had everything balanced in February.

    I do have a few other maintenance items I'll be performing in the near future, including the ECGS bushing and carrier bearing, but those seem unrelated to this issue.

    I guess I'm at the crossroad where I either buy new tires or potentially waste money with balancing on a set that I could have worn unevenly

    slight wobble and death wobble seem like drastic differences. Are you sure this is an alignment issue and not something else?

    I bet they over torqued your lugs. Did they use an impact wrench to put them on then "check" the torque with the wrench?

    We run the same tires on our Tundra and since hitting 25k miles with them, they won't balance properly again. This is after a regular balance job and also road force balancing which helped a little.

    We're probably going to ditch them soon for something else. We definitely cannot recommend these tires.
