It took the Bridgestone dealer a while to get my Revo 2s on. The guy had to climb up and jump on the tires to get the beads to seat. I've only seen them use soap to help the bead to seat.

 

nh5, Since you said your steering shakes then I cannot suggest that your CV half-shafts are worn out (4x4). You say after a rebalance they are good then it shakes again. There is an old school way to prove the tires are shot that I've used in the past (I.E. Sears Brand Michelins) When and if your symptoms appear (truck starts to shake like you mentioned) remove the two front tires and cross them over to the back (x pattern) and then move the back ones straight up to the front. Go for a test drive and if the shaking goes away the 2 front tires are confirmed shot. If that is the case the ones you placed on the front will probably prove to shake within 5 to 6 hundred miles too.

 

I have did a front-back swap before, sometimes it makes it better sometimes it actually makes it worse depending on which tire is the most out of whack.
