Exclamation Important tire info!!!

For those of you with the dreaded vibe-here is the solution. Just found out from my service manager that when they mount new tires with the "special silicone" that they use, you have to have the tires rebalanced after they have a chance to seat properly. Just wanted to let you all know that you may have to go get your tires balanced again after the first week they are on. This will solve the problem, and all will be well!!!!!


Hope my sarcasm comes through in this post---this is just the latest excuse i've heard from the delaership, thought i'd share
Love my truck----hate the excuses.
