Re: 05 Taco Sport with 270/ 70/17 BFG a/t K/O's with major balance problems - HELP PLEASE
FYI: After puttinga 3" Tuff country lift on my 06 Tacoma DC SB, I went to the BFG TAs in 1 285X75X16 on American Racing Mohave Teflon wheels. One block from and after up to speed @ 30mph I noticed what i thought was HUGE rpoblem with balance of 1 or more wheels, There was shimmy and front end shake. really bad, oh ya a pull to the side as well. I turned around and drove back, they rebalanced and was a tiny bit better, but drove around a bit thinking it would get better.. ya right..
So next morning drove to tire dealer at 7:45, they pulled all wheels from truck and one of the techs noticed an imperfection in sidewall, a small buldge, in two of the four new BFGs. They ordered two more and had them on my truck within an hour. drove off the lot and down the road .. as smooth as silk.. even at 90mph. cured the problem. The manager said they rarely, but DO sometimes get a few BFG TAs like that.
No problems since and have 12k on them. Rotate every 3k.
Hope you find your cure!
