    Same tires's I have. I'm kind of leaning towards it being a "tire" issue, and not a "Wheel is gonna fall off" issue.

    Its not flat spots from day to night, smh, come on guys, really? Then everyone who has tires would have that. I just dealt with this same issue on my truck. Also running BFG's, KO2's. Mine would shake right around the 50 mph mark. Would go away around 55-60 mph. Go get your wheels and tires re-balanced. You probably lost a weight. I had to take mine in twice before they found that and fixed it. All good now.

    Yeah I wasn't buying the flat spot theory, but could but the rubber needing to heat up a bit. I'm not sure about it being out of balance though? It's self correcting after a few minutes of driving. No shakes at any speed, stop and go, after 10 minutes running.

    I never would have noticed mine if I never sped up beyond 50 either. But then to have it go away after 60 is what was puzzling. It bothered me enough to keep digging and Discount Tire does my rotations and balancings for free. So it was worth it to me.
