    yep..
    What color is your truck? I'll keep an eye out. Whenever I see a modded taco I wonder to myself if they're on TW. Haha

    Whats up guys? Getting my first service without Toyota coering it and I won't be back to the stealership for it again. I just saved myself $100 by them not doing a rotation and air filter. Ridiculous. Town Fair tire will do the rotation for free cause I bought tires there.
    Anyways, quick question. I have Duratracs so they are a pretty aggressive tread. I've started to get the woo-woo-woo-woo sound and it gets worse in a left turn. I'm also getting vibration, most noticeable at highway speeds. Is this normal for these tires? They seem to be wearing more on the toe side, but no pulling or anything like that.

    Sounds like a wheel bearing if it gets louder turning one way but your truck is quite new... Duratracs are quite loud though. Vibrations could be from a lift (if you're running one) or you could need an alignment and/or tires rebalanced

    Thats what I'm thinking about the wheel bearing, but yeah I've only 33k on it. No lift. I feel like its just coming from one side though, the front driver side. They're gonna have look and see if theres anything obvious.

    Yup, as close to 12 and 6 (clock positions) as possible. You can also check by holding the coil spring and spinning the tire, binding will be transmitted into the coil spring if there is any

    I have not had good luck with TFT, they royally screwed up an alignment, driver's side was toed way out. Did they do your alignment when you bought the tires? Might want to get it checked.

    On another note, I think I saw your truck at the Ice cream/fried food place on 116 in Sunderland. You have a black bed rack correct?

    Hey man. Yeah they did it when I bought them. I've put almost 30k on them. I did have to take it back cause the steering wheel was tilted to the left when driving straight but they fixed it pretty quick.
    Yeah that's me. The wife and little one loves Sunderland frostie so we go over there every now and again. Haven't been there in a bit

    So they said it's any vibration or noise are coming from the tires.
