One is worn on the inside (I figure wheel hub). But they have approx <20k on them, and are about a year old. I've had the vibe from the get-go. I've had it to the stealership & BIG-O numerous times for balance, alignment & rotation because of the vibe...none of them have said ANYTHING about the stuff B&G (local place) has discovered/suggested.

I've been superbly happy w/B&G's past service, and I trust them now. Just disappointed I never went to them before now .

Yeah, probably bad from tyhe get go. Wearing on the inside means bad alignment.

Large aggressive mud terrains are going to wobble a bit at speed, there's really nothing you can do.

I've got those beads in my tires but they don't help with the shake. I still get the steering vibration from time to time.

I've got about 150 miles on the tires now (100+ highway driving around 75mph). Feels WAY better aligned, balance and rotated than ever before. And as I drove from Friday to yesterday afternoon, they seemed to balance more (less vibe on the highway).

Very pleased.
