new guy needs help..

Hi..i got a 2018 SR 2wd..just got some 16x8 with 0 offset wheels and 265x75x16 duratracts..truck looks good and so far I am happy with everything ....But........there is this vibration problem I got that drives me crazy.
Tires and rims road force balanced. Only thing I can think of is the drive shaft. Before I go to the stealership should I put my stock tires and rims back on ? Anybody out there experienced similar problems?
Thanks in advance....

 

I changed a thing and now something is wrong, it's certainly not the thing I changed and must be something totally different!

 

Lifted?

 

Have them redo the road-force balance again. I am pretty sure it’s your new wheels and tires (more on the tires though). So either take them back to the place you bought them from or take it to a difference tire shop.

 

Were the wheels you got hub centric or lug centric? I do not have personal experience in this, but the past couple of days I have been doing a lot of reading on wheels, and it seems Toyota trucks seem to work better with hub centric wheels, or you can get hub ring adapters. Also, are you using the correct lug nuts? Just a couple things to think about.
I wouldn't think its the driveshaft if you didn't have the issue with the stock wheels and tires, so how would it all of a sudden show up? Don't think too hard about it. You made a change then a problem showed up. It's probably the change.

 

no its stock..

 

Thank you...

 

Hub centric.. and I have the hub rings..

 

Know anyone local, do a rim and tire swap and youll know for suee

 

Was it like that immediately after tires? Could have thrown a weight. But man, I'd bet tires/wheels.

 

And they clear the UCAs right? Not rubbing?

 

If no vibrations before the new wheels and tires, it's the new wheels and tires.

 

What tires did you get?

There has been quite a few complaints about a certain tire on here lately. I got a good set but others have had issues


EDIT - looks like Duratraks sorry didn't catch that. Not the ones I was talking about

 

I got falkens one time, vibrations like crazy, had them road forced balanced two times, shop said they were good, still a crappy ride though. Changed tires, all good after that. Just because they are balanced doesn’t mean they’ll ride nice. Still don’t know why but it’s true. Change them tires.

 

Some duratracs balance perfectly, some do poorly. It's a commercial grade tire and its just luck of the draw.

My co-worker and I bought the same size and installed at the same time and had polar opposite experiences.

Mine were balanced by an apprentice and turned out great, his were balanced by us journeyman multiple times with poor results.

BFG AT owners go through this as well.

 

What speed(s) do the vibrations start and stop? Balance issues are typically very isolated to specific speeds.

 

It wasn't ..

 

Yes, no rubbing at all.

 

It starts around 35 and gets worse after that ...

 

Same tires. I was also frustrated. Integrity tires can't get it right. I went to Toyota. It's smooth as butter now.
