    2020 TRD OR - I assume they use the same specs for alignment (but it’s noted for an SR5).

    Had an irreparable flat to the stock GY Wranglers. I’m at 40K, 99% highway so I went with Michelin Defenders. The wheels were balanced with 4-6 oz. each of just stick on weights alone (not including the clamp ons on the inner lip). May have some slight vibration but I don’t have a good reference. From what I read though, this seems like a lot of weight for these tires specifically?

    2nd, I had an alignment with the new tires, all of this was at the dealership. I feel like I have to drive with the steering wheel 5-10* to the right to go straight. Truck seems to want to venture to the left slightly. The tires are brand new and all at the same PSI (around 30-32 cold). Does anything appear off significantly here? Any advice?

    Thanks.

    Sounds like a classic alignment issue but your alignment sheet is all green. Your previous alignment looks off. Are you sure you are not just used to a bad alignment? Make sure you test it on a flat road and not one with a crown.
