Default Re: 05 Taco Sport with 270/ 70/17 BFG a/t K/O's with major balance problems - HELP PLEASE

my thought is that the 17s manufactured with the sport just have a severe issue with balancing. It has been an issue since the 2005 model and based on what you say, has yet to be fixed. It isn't so much an issue with the tires as the wheels just suck. Since I can remember on my truck the 60-65mph steering wheel vibration is there, at this point I'm just used to it...

To be honest I would see if they have a set of 16s around the tire shop that you could test out to see if that is the issue...However, i've also heard of people with the 17s having issues as deep in the drivetrain as the driveshat not being balanced or any other number of issues...

I've thought about taking it in to the dealer...but I'd rather not deal with them saying that it's my fault cause I haven't rotated tires or that I need to get new tires to test this out first. plus I don't have much time...
