Ford replacing tires?

I've got a quick question for anyone that has had the dreaded steering wheel nibble at 65 MPH. My F-150 Screw is 1 week old and going into the Ford dealer tomorrow for the vibration /shaking problems. Have many of you been satisfied with the tires being rebalanced or has ford been offering to replace tires with no hassle? My bed also has the huge shakes going on at times which I'll mention also but I'm not sure if thats just part of the nibble problem. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. I've searched previous threads but havent seen too many instances of free replacement tires.

Thanks!

I had the shimmy/nibble problem as well. Took it to dealer first time and they balanced tires. This did not really solve the problem so I took it in again and they took the truck to an independant shop to have tires road force balanced. THey came back and said that I had one bad tire that would not balance within spec and that they would order a new tire. The supposed "bad" tire is on the back and I can say that the nibble is almost non exsistant. Hopefully when they replace the bad tire the nibble will be gone.

Just curious; what brand of tire do you have on your truck?

My truck came with the General tires. I dropped it off at the dealer this morning so I'll keep my fingers crossed that it will be a quick fix.
