Wheel/Tire Vibration above 30

Looking for some insight. I just got a set of Method 305s put on with a set of Baja Boss AT tires just the standard SLs. I’ve had these on since last Wednesday the 26th. Wednesday and Thursday were both dry and everything seemed fine, but every day since it’s been raining and I noticed a vibration seeming like it was coming from the rear wheels. I also had noticed one of the wheels didn’t have any weights on it. Trying to be on top of it i went back to Discount Tire yesterday to get them rebalanced. They rebalanced them and told me one of the rear wheels were indeed out of balance. Nice, should be good now (I thought). Went to work this morning and the vibration was even worse. I’d previously noticed that these Method 305s seem to like to hold some water on the outer lip, could this be the cause of my vibration/ roughness or am i just getting a bad balancing? One of the wheels still has no weights on it, but now instead of it being in the rear, they moved it to the front. Is it common for a wheel to balance perfectly? I’ll obviously wait till it’s dry to see if it’s any different but it’s suppose to keep raining here in PGH. Appreciate any thoughts or insight.

 

That water pools after the vehicle sits, it doesn't stay in place like a solid would with centrifugal force.

 

Yea i guess once it’s moving and the water kinda spreads out there’s no way it’d be enough to throw it off. Was just kinda thinking since the water just stuck in there maybe it could.

 

ROAD FORCE BALANCE, accept nothing else. it will tell you if there is a tire, or wheel issue. Ski

 

Yeah, called today and they said they do road force. Said I’d get a call back but haven’t hear anything yet

 

Go to a Toyota dealership and have them road forced balanced. Most of them have a special adapter that works better on our larger hub size. That was the only way I could get my falken wildpeaks to balance decent.

Keep in mind too, that with larger stiffer tires you will feel more imperfections in the road that sometimes can feel like a balance issue.

 

Yea figured that much going from a street tire to an AT but my whole truck starts shaking pretty good going 70+ haha

 

oh boy here we go......

water bad, don't drive in it, if you must though get hubcaps and drag slicks to keep water off the tread and wheels

careful this shit is getting real

 

Wow man super funny!! Looks like you’re late to the party though? Miss your invitation?

 

Road force balance like said above.

 

not as funny as your original post

 

Method says they’re lug centric wheels…. I still used hub centric rings for perfect ride. That’s one option…. To look at.

 

I’m pretty sure they’re on there. I’ll have to double check. Appriciate it!

 

No problem. I ordered directly from method for my tundra and had 35’s). And they didn’t send hub centric rings - when I emailed them, they just replied that they are lug centric and don’t require the rings but I’ve always found hubcentric wheel set ups typically run smoother

 

I’m glad that my post asking for any ideas why i might have a bad vibration was funny to you! Must not get out much if you laugh that easy!

 

I ordered from tire rack since they offered free shipping and when i opened the wheels i noticed it saying something was already installed onto the wheels. I’ll have to check and see if that’s what it was. I’d assume (hopefully) it is.

 

Method wheels, 285-75-17 tires, no hub centric rings, smooth at over 100mph.

You might have a bad tire

 

Good to know, appreciate the insight. I’ll bring that up when i call again tomorrow and hopefully they can get someone on it to figure out what’s going on. 3rd time feels kinda crazy. Especially since it got worse after the last time they had it.

 

There’s nothing more annoying. Hope u get it sorted.

 

My buddy had this problem on his Tacoma, they ended up putting 4 new tires (different brand). Next time have an employee ride with you (before and after).
