Don't know about you, but if I was sure it was the tires as you seem to be...I would do research, buy the best tires out there, mount them. Then if they work, go and Sue the dealer.
I know it would take forever, but hey You already went for $50 K...I would be driving my truck rather than waiting for DC or the dealer to do a Fix..again Just My Opinion.

Again, Pirelli makes an awesome tire. However, they simply arent designed for this kind of wear/tear from that kind of everyday driving.

Most 20" Pirelli tires are designed for performance cars and for track driving. They arent designed for 500hp/500lb ft torque out of a 5000lb pickup truck. I know Pirelli's are great tires, I've ran a set on my Dakota and have friends who have them...under 20" they are fabulous. Most truck tires on these high size rims arent really designed with performance in mind....and the SRT-10 is all performance.

Hi Bob and welcome to the Red Button Club! We need details about your truck.

Yeah, my Pirellis have been great too. Leave it to those that don't actually run these 22" wheels/tires to debate whatever it was they read in a magazine or somebody's friend's dad's brother's uncle told their sister's brother's best friend. I don't know what "that kind of driving" means. Is it assumed that we are driving around at 100+mph everywhere we go and pull high G corners all day long, everyday? It's just normal driving for the most part and this kind of vibration that a few have had trouble with is not normal for the tire or the truck. I know, I drive mine everyday. I have several friends that drive their SRTs everyday and they don't have this problem either. And. yes, tire choices are limited for this size of wheel but I've pushed my Pirellis from time to time and they hold up pretty well. I've also driven a Ram SRT-10 hard on a road race course with BFG KDW2s and they were very impressive. Ain't no street tire gonna hook up on a hard launch, period. There are a few 18" wheels that will clear our brakes and allow us to run a DR. There is also a kit to downsize the rear brakes to run a smaller wheel with slicks but that is only for a dedicated drag truck.

Well I have 5 dvd screens in my truck all alpine, haven't done anything to the motor or the body. Still have the same tries on the truck and I only have 7500 km on the truck. I also have a tunel cover on it with elect and the tale gate is the same. Want to chance the muffler but no one has dual in dual out muffler, here in canada.

I go into as meny shows as I can in the year. all close to home at this time.

The only thing about my SRT-10 are the breaks. squeeling alot.

I have only a few thousand miles on my pirelli tires but i enjoy them. For having 22 inch rims on them they actually ride pretty well

You should consider having a road force balancing done. That might clear it up.
