2018 tacoma tire issues ?? or worse

K so recently I have been experiencing a weird sensation in the truck 18 TRD off road 4x4 .Doesn't matter at what speed and gets worse on the highway .Best way I can describe it is feeling like if I'm driving over something constantly its not violent but it does get worse on the highway vibrates into the seat like if your off road . truck has only 1100 miles on the stock tires and no mods have been done to suspension. any thoughts ??? tires or worse ??

 

I'd take it to the dealer since it's under warranty.

It might be alignment if you hit a curb or something. Or you might have lost a wheel weight so it's out of balance now.

 

Could be a bad tire. I've had them and when a tire is out of round, usually nothing you can do except suffer or replace.

 

Rear tire is my vote.

Rotate them and see if shaking moves from seat to steering wheel

 

Going to take it in to discount Since re going to do a free balance and road force the tires .Also check to see if there is any issues with the tires . Dealership is not very helpful they told me that if its a defective item they would fix but if not they wont . So I figure ill go with discount first since its free. thanks for the advice guys. let you know once I know .

 

Odd you would write this today...

I installed 4 brand new tires on my Taco yesterday..
Truck had a bad case of the shimmies with the new tires...and I saw the tech balance the tires IN FRONT OF ME....and did a perfect job.
Got home, transfered frt left to the rear left,..did a test drive, still shimmying...
Transfered the frt right to the rear right...truck runs like on silk..
Moral of the story, even new tires can be badly made.

Toyota (the dealer) will push the issue off to someone else.
Don't wait until the tire wears.
Confirm with discount or your prefered tire retailer the problem tire is "x"..

This will cost you, and is annoying considering you just bought the truck...

But will bring you peace of mind...and then you can claim the tire through your tire retailer.

Know whats in it for him?....
Selling you tires in 50k...
He don't sell trucks...
He sells tires!


just my $0.02

 

Run your hands flat over the surface of the tire and see if you have a bulge anywhere that would indicate a broken belt or manufacturing defect.
If you turn slightly does it go away ? Which would indicate scalloping on the edge of a front tire.
I have had this issue many times on other cars.

 

The tech should have performed a ROAD FORCE balance! The balancer might show perfect balance, but if the road force is high, the truck will shake like a whore in church!
