    I have the same issue right now. My truck pulls hard right with the Coopers on, and it's very annoying. I got 29 days to figure it out and decide if I want to switch to the Falkens. They do ride pretty well though at 37 PSI (haven't chalk tested yet), so I will be sad if I decide to get rid of em. If I let go of the wheel, within 100ft I'm in the right lane.

    And America's tire decided to cross thread a stud. Guy put on one thread then hit it with an impact. By the time I saw and ran out, it was too late. Later found out he did that to 2 more studs...At least they covered the repair.

    This is frustrating and I'm sorry this happened. I'm glad the store stepped up and did the right thing.

    Yup! What is the policy on returning tires? I'm having an issue with the front pulling immediately to the right. I called America's Tire and they said "If we switch the front 2 tires and the pulling continues to happen, then we will rule out the tires being an issue and it being your suspension or alignment."

    I know for a fact my truck drove perfectly straight before and the alignment is perfectly within spec. I'm wondering if they will allow me to change it out for a different brand tire and just pay the difference between the tires.

    What happened to your 5 tire deal from another shop that Americas tire couldn't beat?

    They were for Passenger rated tires. He said they were for LT, but when I got there I noticed none of them were E rated.

    Getting some vibes after installing but only at 60-65mph. More likely a wheel or tire being out of balance than a driveline problem when it’s at a specific speed like that isn’t it?
    Tires are 285/75/17

    I just put these on my 18 Tacoma off road. I can't believe how quiet they are for such an aggressive tread! Haven't taken them off road so I can't speak to their off road performance, but my truck will be on pavement 95% of the time anyway.

    Just installed mine tonight and getting the same vibes.
    Setup required a ton of weight to balance correctly.
    Anyone have any tricks to remedy this?

    :Edit:
    Also experiencing a hard pull to the right that wasnt there before tonight.

    The Discount Tire and America's Tire stores want you completely satisfied with your purchase, just as we do here at DTD. If you would like to have the tires switch to another model, my recommendation is to speak with the store manager and I'm confident he'll take care of you :thumbsup:

    Just got the alignment checked. As I expected everything was within spec, though the rear is a little wonky-er than I would prefer. I dont believe this is the cause of my wear tho, as I checked tread depth before they were rotated and all 4 tires were the same. IMG_20180420_145549.jpgI'll keep an eye on it and see what happens.

    I'm on my second set of Wildpeaks after first set were deemed out of round. Just mounted second set & no more pull but still bad steering wheel shimmy above 60mph. All below 15 pounds of roadforce. I noticed they flat spot really bad after truck sits for few hours. The shimmy is so bad can barely drive above 60. At this point I'm over these tires. Going try something else. Leaning towards the Yokohama G015. Really wanted to like these & figured I'd give them a second try but guess that was a mistake. Going give @Discount Tire Direct a call tomorrow & try figure something out.

    Got mine installed a few day ago and had the 55-65 mph shakes. Took it back the next day and all 4 were off 1.5 oz each. All good now and really like them.

    Yes it’s just out of balance. I had the same issue. I had to go back to the shop two times to get them balanced correctly. It took a bit of weight to get it right but it can be fixed. Ever since then these tires have been outstanding and I have zero regrets. Go back and get them re-balanced and hopefully they get it right so you can enjoy these tires properly. Good luck.

    I don't. I just cruised 80 miles at 65 to70mph no vibration. Had them for about 3k miles and I love them.
