    No no no!! I must have conveyed the wrong scenario! The reason they have to "order" my revo is because they don't have any of them in stock, because they have been replaced by the Revo2! It is getting replaced by the older model revo (same model that is on the rest of the wheels). They just weren't in stock as they have been sold out, due to being replaced by the Revo2!

    Sorry about the confusion. But in this scenario, the 4th tire will be brand new, approx 3,800 miles less on it than the rest, but yet the same brand/model. That should be fine, right?

    Yep, I sure will. I am going to make sure they road force the new tire too, just simply to avoid bringing it back 4 flippin times before it is done right! I already told them this, and they agreed.

    Mr. David Tarantino, thanks for your help.

    I have a 2000 prerunner and have the same problem. I have had them balanced like 4 to 5 times I lost track. It is around 60mph and above when it starts, this however is a very noticable shake like the steering wheel is going to shake out of your hands. I have the factory 15's with "yokahama geolanders" on it which is probably my problem. Each time i had them balanced it seemed to have little to no effect on the issue. I bought the truck with 53,000 miles on it and have replaced the factory tires with the tires mentioned above at about 55,000. I now have 88,000 miles on it and have had this problem ever since. So i have plans to upgrade to 16's DC-1 rims and a good set of all terain tires. Anyone have any suggestions on tires? size about 235/75r16 or 255/75r16. Thanks for the help!

    What do you think about the DC-1 rims? I was thinking about the poilshed with the black trim. Has anyone heard if they are a quality rim? Thank for the help.

    So just touching on an old thread again. How many miles is too many when it comes to replacing a single tire? Firestone still hasn't replaced the one they determined could not be balanced to spec, and I am pushing 4,200 miles on the tires now. If they replace just one, the new one will have 4,200 less miles on it.

    David Tarantino, hoping you'll chime in here :confused:
