Default Re: Shake when Towing

Well, I had the tundra aligned with it tweaked toward a towing setting. It still had a little bit of shake. The shake is present sometimes when not towing but doesn't intrude like it does when towing. Since I'm leaving tomorrow for a 7-8 hour haul up to Watkins Glen, I decided to have the shop check out the front suspension; Ball-joints, etc. Everything was good, so his next suggestion was to replace the tires. They were Bridgestone Dueler A/Ts (p-rated), and all were pretty well cupped. So they put on some Firestone Destination LEs (C-rated). They are set at 45-psi all around. Road in on the highway this morning and the truck still shakes, perhaps more. I just don't know anymore. Maybe it could be something in the drivetrain, but I won't be able to have that checked until after the trip. Hope I'll be safe. My credit card isn't liking this.

dont count on those tires being good just because they are a few years old. my 06 boat trailer tires crapped out on me a couple weeks ago. its garage kept and always kept at the correct pressure..but one lost its tread - just peeled right off and the other one got a bubble on the same trip, on the tread surface so not hitting a curb...sidewalls are great just the tread seperates..they are goodyear marathons which i found out are made in china now and are crap... so a few years doesnt mean anything anymore...googling has turned up a ton of tires seperating...oh and the way i found the bubble on the other tire, i was watching the bimini top frame shake side to side and was thinking it was lose but it was actually the trailer going over its bubble over and over causing the entire boat to shake... hope thats not your issue because if it is im sure u found it by now...the hard way.
