Is your feathering causing slight vibration in the steering wheel over 65. Mine is doing The but no telling what the person before me did

I would suggest rotation every 6,000 miles.
Here is the recommendation, but note the comment on irregular tire wear...

8,000 MILE (13,000 KM) OR 6 MONTH MAINTENANCE
Perform the following scheduled maintenance:

Change the engine oil and engine oil filter.

Rotate the tires, rotate at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before 8,000 miles (13 000 km).

Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for complete maintenance schedule.

I bought the truck with16k on it. They did the brakes, turned rotors, abs rotated tires. Has slight vibration at highway speeds and slight pulsation from right front. Not sure if it's the tire or the rotor or both. Guessi Neff the dealer. Also doesn't have large owners manual or DVD.

I run what the manufacturer recommends which, according to the door jam sticker, is 33 cold.

That was exactly what I wanted to know. I'm at 38psi but thinking of trying a higher psi for better handling and less tire on pave ment with more air.

An update to this situation. I went to the dealership today regarding some other issues I asked them about my tires and found that they did find the alignment out of spec and aligned it at my last visit. When they showed me the results I thought they were showing me the results of checking the alignment not the alignment they just performed. Bottom line it was a miscommunication and the alignment was causing the feathering.

Thanks for the update. Just learning there were diff specs for the R/T made this thread worth it.
