    Hello,
    Anyone swap tires and truck seems to wobble and not drive as smooth? Dealership can't find anything wrong. It's a 2019 Tacoma SR5 4x4
    These tires were on the truck before and rode very smooth.

    Were the new tires balanced? If so, how much weight did each take?

    As you've posed the question, the answer can be yes or no.

    More detail about what's going on would be helpful.

    Alignment is good - frontend dead on straight. the truck used to glide and now it seems to vibrate up through seat as it did before the first tire was out of balance

    Make sure the lugnuts were installed correctly. Not sure about the 3gen but my 2gen made a difference in mine to make sure each one was snugged up (all 6)THEN start the star tightening pattern, then final torque with the wheels on the ground.

    This is a good habit to get into, I do it anytime anyone other tan me works on my truck. Most dealers and tire places I know just give it a few ugga duggas and call it good.

    Edit: also, while we are on the topic, it's a good idea to check the lugs again after the first few hundred miles. They can and do come a little loose.

    Does this mean that you did a Tire Rotation?

    Do another rotation to see if the problem goes away.

    I would sure hope a Toyota dealer with torque down the nuts correctly! I can only go by what they tell me.

    They said they moved tires around to see if it goes away and no difference.

    Thanks for the feedback.
