i have the same problem at 60mph, and only at that speed. BUT ive never road forced balanced them.. that in my list to do this weekend.

 

what is the big deal about road force? Is it a different machine or something?

 

yes, only one shop in my city can do it.. discount tire.

 

I would check the shocks, I had a wobble that would not go away, I had the tires road force balanced, trued, and 4 new tires. Turns out it was just a bad set of rear shocks.

 

roadforce is overrated if you know what you're doing.. too much bs if you ask me

Take it to a quality tire shop if 4 wheelparts won't fix it.

If they say it's out of round take it back to 4 wheel parts and demand another tire

 

Alright. I had the same problem with my old truck. Bought some 20s with (street tires) and they shook like hell. I took them off one by one and test drove it on the interstate to see which one was bad. Turns out they were all bad. So i go ahead and bring them to a local tire guy, Real man that knows everything and anything about wheels and tires.

They put sand weights on it. They ride like a mercedes after that.!

 

No it isn't. The Hunter Road Force Balancer is a far superior machine to anything else out there. It's going to be the closest thing to a "true" balance.

 

100% agree. It is FAR from over-rated when used in the right circumstance.... such as this one. Just make sure its not the shocks first.

 

They have already given me another tire but it still hops. Im going to take it into discount tire or something have them look at it on the road force balancer machine thingy.

 

Same problem here. Toyo M/T 37's on 17's. Only about at 60 mph too just like Tonka. I'm getting them rotated soon so I will probably have them road force balanced. I thought they were to begin with but I can't remember.

 

I had the same problem with my ranger, I lifted it and put it on 32's. I got a real annoying wheel hop in the back, some roads it was worse than other but it was always there. Replaced the shocks, checked the lift in the back for tightness, changed air pressure, had the tires balanced, never found the problem, actually i eventually got used to it, but it sucks. Ended up selling the truck like that.

 

There is this one shop in SA that trues tires and they even roadforce balances the tires while they are on the vehicle. They are really good and it makes a big difference.

 

What kind of lift is that?

How do they road force balance a tire on a vehicle?

 

It has been a while since I have seen them do it. They jack up the vehicle and then stick this thing that like a jack in the shape of a triangle under the tire. If you imagine the long part of the triangle it has a roller that spins the tire up to like 80 or 100 mph. I don't know the technicalities but I know they mark the tire with chalk and use a strobe light. Then they mount the weights accordingly.

 

That's crazy, take a picture of it next time you're there !!
