Highway Vibration

To twentypints- The vibration is quite difinitive after 50 MPH.
It remains constant up to 80 MPH. I am afraid to go faster than 80 MPH.

There is a product called Equal (sp?) that is put in semi tires. It's a powder that keeps the tires balanced perfectly at all times. Dunno how it works at city speeds where it isn't slung to the outside tho. I don't know how much it costs, but I'm going to try to find some for my next set of tires.

I've got an 03 I bought a few weeks ago. It has BFG 315/75R16. It has a bad vibration between 45 and 55. It is smoth as glas above or below that. I had chalked it to the tires but see others are having the same problem. I have balanced the tires twice since I've gotten the truck and it is a bit better. I do have some flat spots on my tires because you can stick a small flathead screwdriver in the little slits on the outer edge of the tire and get varying depths all around.

Hopefully a new set of tires will help especially if I keep them balanced and rotated. I'll live with the vibration for a while cause I've got a good bit of tread left on these puppies.
