Are my tires balanced?!?

steve83 · 12-06-2005, 04:46 PM

I got some BF Goodrich A/T's (285/65/18) put on my titan about 350 miles ago. I love the tires, they look great! But, I've been dealing with some vibration, mostly around 30mph. I can feel it on the wheel, through the pedels and in my seat. It's not horrible but noticable.

Some of you guys seem to know a thing or two, any help would be great.

Yes check your right front tire. It's a 1/2 oz. short

Most places will rebalance for free. Have the place that installed them check, that would be a place to start

Would you post some pic's of those tires on your rims? I was wondering what the sidewall looked like. Is there a pronounced bulge as with a wide tire on a narrow rim, or is the sidewall fairly flush when looking down the side of the vehicle?

New BF Goodrich A/T K/O's on PRG Lift

I've never had A/T tires before these so i'm not sure if vibration is normal or not. I'll most likely get them rebalanced when i get a chance. I would recommend these tires to anyone but they cost a bit more.

BFG AT's should not vibrate at all. They should be smooth like butta. If its in your seat it sounds like either a rear wheel/tire is out of balance or a drivetrain issue. Did you take them offroading? Sometimes if you go in deep mud you will get mud caked on the back/inside of the wheel, which unbalances it.

Take um back and have them check the RFV(radial force variation) levels of the tires on a Hunter 9700 machine.
