So of course.. now I'm trolling everyone's pics to see where their dots are..

 

It sure does say go red-dot if you have both. Guess I’ll request they fix it in 6k miles if I have any issues by then. Have been up to 75 indicated without one yet.

Out of the ones with dots in pics, I only see one lined up with red. There are a couple aligned to yellow, but have no red dot and also a bunch that disregarded the dots

 

@Marcmtb1 I see you're running 885's... I just ordered 5100's with 887's. I decided not to wait any longer for 6112.. anyway.. There's a new chart that doesn't even list 885 as an option anymore for 2016+. What are you using the 885's with?

 

Ordered a set this weekend. Hopefully they are round.

I was saving for some 700 or 800 dollar overkill tires and just pulled the trigger on these. Sick of waiting.

 

I had a set of these in the 265/75r16 in the SL variety installed last week. I have had them road force balanced at my local discount tire THREE times in the last week and I am having some major vibrations at 55mph-60mph. It is enough to shake the bed of the truck. Has anyone else has issues like this? At what point can I request a new set or have them diagnose my set to see if any of the tires are out of spec?? Im at the point that im just going to ask for a refund and go with something else.

 

I dealt with this crap when I bought the cheapest tires Walmart had for a crappy daily driver I had. I really hope this doesn't happen to me. They arrive Monday.

 

What size tires did you go with? How much lift do you have and what are the specs on your wheels?
Nice Truck BTW!

 

Yep, I’ve been going at this problem with the DTD facility that I purchased them from. Like I said, they have roadforce balanced them three times and it’s still very bad. Is there anything I can ask of them or just flat out get a different tire? I love the look of these wildpeaks but wobbling to the point my bed shakes is unacceptable.

 

I’ll reach out to them. I’m fairly certain there’s a real issue with the tires.

 

Sorry to hear you are having troubles. I got mine probably back in September and have yet to mount them up due to other issues with my truck. Crap, I hope mine don’t do this but at this rate I may never know - still working through issues with corporate.

 

It appears that the tires with the balancing issues are all 265/75/16. has anyone had issues with any other sizes? I have 265/70/17 and they balanced fine. Mine were made in Thailand in the middle of july 2018.

 

I’ll be calling Falken today to see what they say and I’ll be making a FOURTH trip back to discount tire.

 

Your Tacoma came from the factory with Duratracs?

 

Tires are 285/70/17, 5100’s in the front set at top, OEM UCA’s, AAL in the rear. Wheels are 6x5.5 with a -6 offset and a 4.75BS.

 

Funny, after reading all the issues, I haven’t had any problems with balancing them. I must have bought just after the bad batch...

 

I agree. I think DTD will take care of him, even if that means going to another tire. I think after a 4th trip I’d be looking at other options. That really sucks.

 

Thanks! I’ve heard a lot of good things about them as well but it does seem like a lot of people have stepped up lately and mentioned having issues. While I hate folks are having issues, it is good to hear about them so others can make informed decisions. I think these tire manufacturers are pushing these tires out as fast as they can to meet demand and when that happens some bad ones will get by QC. I really can’t blame you for being gun shy with them after your experience - I would be too.

I’m just hoping to get my truck’s issues worked out so I can mount up my Rays and Falkens or else I’m just going to sell them and keep my stock setup. My current rear differential is far better than the last one but the vibration and shaking at low throttle is on the agenda now, and the second I put new tires on it I give them a reason to blame my issues on those new tires. Lol

 

Thanks for that info. Those are SL rated correct? How's the ride with them?
I'm currently on 265/75/16 load E S/T Maxx's and they'r pretty stiff. I'm think about going with something different, possibly in a 33"

 

Mine are the LT, E rated 10 ply.
