Just talked to the dealership he said that its the tires bottom line they need to be
ROAD FORCED BALANCED, and that cost 120 well deff not getting that done right now i just spent 1300 on the tires guess i'll have to deal with it for now.

 

I think some very knowledgeable member brought that up before. Can't for the life of me remember who though.

However, that does not explain the fact that you said you had the issue BEFORE you had the new tires put on.
Oh, and BTW, if you take the truck back where you got the tires and had them installed, complaining of the vibration issue, they'd probably road force balance them for nuthin'. Also $120 is out of control, even for a dealer. Going rate is about $40...

 

Road force balanced is simply a balancing machine, it's the better design than the older style.

Also, flat spots aren't caused by normal driving regardless of rotating them. Flat spots can be cause by skidding to a stop, in which we have ABS do that's outta the question.

I think everyone is thinking and talking about Out of Round as that is a common problem from the mold of the tire. My Zeon LTZ's were shaved right from the factory. I noticed the outer edge had rubber shaved off as it was built up like someone did a burnout. My tires are smooth as pie! I called discount tire up and they called cooper about the issue and they said they shave all tires that are not within certain specs.
The heavier the tire, the more likely you will have a problem of shaking from being out of round. I dunno if any places other than manufacturers or race guys can shave tires? It's definately something that will be eliminated once they wear down. I would just get them rebalanaced and see where it bring you. The balancing should only be $40 per tire. That $120 sounds like a mount and balance quote. They shouldn't have to break the bead to rebalance them, just yank off the old weights and slap new ones on.
However, if you had this problem before you put the tires on it could be your wheels, which then the force balancer would be able to pick out. When I had my tires mounted, I had the guy use sticky weights for the outside because I didn't wanna ruin the face of my 20's. For the back weights he mounted the normal weight to the lip, but for the front it was stickies just behind the spokes. Just an idea for you if you get them rebalanced.

Sorry my post was all over the place, my mind was runnin faster than I could type and I had to keep going back. Then I got all discombobulated....lol if that's even a real word. I know it's used by many.

 

Well I picked up the truck and of course its still vibrateing so I went back and had them re balance them and it still shakes, the place i got my tires from does not do the road force and i've called like 3 other places and they dont do it either.

 

Just talked to mr tire and they said about 100 Bucks.

 

Just go out and do some burnouts and then rotate your tires and do some more burnouts. That should remove all the excess outa round rubber...lol

I would go back to the place where you bought the tires and demand that it be corrected. Whether it be get replacements or your money back or go to a different tire(I know you want a diff tire...hehehehe) See what they say. Tell them it's not fair that you should have to pay $100+ for something you already paid for. If they cannot properly balance the tires that they sell they shouldn't sell them. If they can't make it right, they should give you your money back. They can get a credit through Mickey Thompson if they send them back. Don't let it fool you if they tell you otherwise

 

Got my truck back from goodyear lastnight. After having the wheels and tires balanced at the dealer less than 2 weeks ago, all four wheels wereout of balance again. That makes 4 times in the 2 months i have owned the truck that the wheels have been balalnced. The explanation I got from goodyear is that there are heavy spots on each tire and each wheel, and I had one where both were lined up together so the rotated the tire on the wheel 180 degrees. Much better but still not fixed. For as much as I have spent trying to fix this, I could have bought a new set of tires. Looks like I need to get my money back from the dealer and pepboys for bad balancing jobs. I am thinking I have a bad wheel now.

 

Seems lots of people know about tires so I have an off topic question: Why do most pics of the Ram 1500 have only 5 bolts on the tire/rim and my '08 Mega Cab have 8 ?

 

MEGA cabs are built on 2500 platforms, so you have 2500 hubs.

all other 1500s will only have 5 bolts

 

Any benefit or is the 8 to compensate for the weight ?
