I have had my 315/70/17s on for 8000 miles now and they have never been right. When I installed them, they didnt feel right so I had them balanced. Still not right. So, I had them road force balanced at the dealership. Still not right. So, back to the tire store to have them road force balance them. Still not right. They are better, but not right at higher speeds. In town they seem to be fine, but when you get above 50 mph you start to get a shake and vibration.

I have checked all torque specs etc and replaced the ss with a TF hd one. How many times does it take to get them balanced correctly so they don't shake???

The shop that did mine said that since I only wanted stick on weights and only on the backside of the wheel, they didn't balance perfect. I think they run fine.

I come from owning a 1 ton diesel dually, and I drive a sloppy handling 1 ton diesel van at work. So maybe I just don't notice.

Sounds like you have other issues.
What tire pressure are you running? Do the chalk test. Dealers and tire shops fill them too high most of the time.

How's your steering geometry?
Could also be headed towards a bad steering box and the dreaded steering clunk.
Really hard to tell.

Tire shops do put to much air in tires and no most of them can't balance either. I got my oil change today and first thing they said is that my tire pressure was only 33 psi and the tire recommended 65 psi. They always say that with static weights on inside that the tires don't balance as good. They come from the factory with weights on the inside of the wheels and they have been smooth until now. Don't understand sometimes. I would take them back and back until they could show me it is something else.

I am currently running them at 30 psi. I have tried everywhere from 20-35psi.

Goodyear =good luck...getting them to balance that is!
