    I would look into rebalancing the tires. A co-worker of mine got ne Hankook Dynapros and had to go back 3 times for rebalancing, and this was to a reputable shop.
    The tech running the machine could have had an off day or you could have thrown a wheel wieght.

    i would like to see what your caster is set at. out of wack caster wont cause tire wear, but maybe vibrations at certain speeds? just curious.

    I honestly thought about caster. That would explain my steering wheel not returning to true north after a turn quickly or efficiently.Could also explain why my handling sucks a bit.

    But yea, vibes are back and consistent now. Always 60-67 mph. thats it. Clock 70 and things smooth out quick. Who the hell knows.

    It sure isnt the duncrap tires. Im running firestone destinations now.....hmmmm..my thoughts?

    Possibilities:

    1.Caster (has to get fixed anyway)
    2.Shocks (WHICH PASSED BOUNCE TEST)
    3. Bushings
    4. Bearings (no noise,.....yet)
    5. Steering Rack
    6. Some random issue....

    My solution. Gonna wait till I get the truck back in september to outflank this problem since ill only have the truck for 2 more weeks since i leave for basic....
