    And mine as well, but "rides fine" is perspective. OP is running a hub centric ring to make his ride "better" and OP is also running a tire notoriously difficult to balance. Also, not to mention they are stretched. I have owned and driven vehicles on stretched tires so I'm not knocking the scene for those types of vehicles I'd just like the op to have truck that "rides good". As with alot of this stuff it's going to be trial and error until we've got it all worked out. That's why I said it'd be better if he could borrow a wheel and tire setup to test it and see if that's indeed the cause, or at least some of the cause.

    Your offer of loaning your tires and wheels for a test is simply amazing. Nice work man.

    Lol I can't because I am in Germany. If I lived close I would. It would be easy. Put mine on his, his on mine, drive both, but I cannot do that.

    Congrats man. Sounds like a blast. That is funny
    I hear Italy is nice. I've been all over Europe but never Italy. My wife has been twice. Haha I'm about to have a set of 265/70r17s and stock wheels you could take back in 8 suitcases. One in each... :yay:

    Haha JK JK.

    Definitely try a hub centric wheel.. like Maybe something from SCS and better quality tires. When it comes to tires you really do get what you pay for in most cases.
