Shake or Vibration Issues

Jesse Davidson · August 26, 2015

well, I got curious about the tires on my 18's, so I pulled out my window sticker and checked it. I paid an extra 350 for all terrain tires and have Wrangler SRA's... looks like I need to go back to my dealer for another issue haha

this is an absolute joke

Yea it isn't right. The SRAs are NOT all terrain tires, and to add to that they are extremely cheap tires. There is nothing about them that warrant a $200 or $350 upcharge. Ridiculous.

Doesn't look like we will have much ground to stand on for this case:

It lists the SRA's as an "All Terrain" tire on Goodyear's website.

Kinda figured that's what you were gonna say

Weird. It has the all terrain logo and the all season. Cant be both. You look at tire rack or any retailer it says all season......

mikegmi2 · August 26, 2015

I call BS on that. It's like GM decided to make a change, put SRAs on trucks that paid for the all-terrain option, and asked Goodyear to put that little all terrain logo on the website. There's no other website that consider SRAs to be all terrain tires. They are cheap, highway all-season tires.

It even says in the description on their website they are "original equipment". When you pay for the all-terrain upgrade, it says right on the window sticker "Replaces standard tires".

Regardless of if they are or aren't all terrain, my 2014 had these exact SRA tires on it, WITHOUT the $200 all-terrain tire option. Many other trucks do as well, right now, go look on a lot. So what did that $200 get me? Nothing.

Furthermore, tell me what tires WOULD have been on my truck, had I not paid for the $200 option. Probably the same tires...or, Goodyear Eagle LS2 tires, which are the same quality tire, cheap, pretty much the same price as SRA. On TireRack, the Eagles are actually $1 more expensive, lol. Some upgrade these SRAs are...

Unless these Eagle ls2 tires are ruled as the fault for my vibration, they have been a pretty good tire. Good street manners and do well in inclimate weather as well. Did pretty decent in my buddies muddy ass field while I was towing a trailer as well. Maybe I'm the only one who's had good luck with them so far.

Now if they're the cause of my vibration then they suck ass lol

My first 14 had ls2 tires and had the shakes. I also drove a HC with ls2 20's and it had the shakes as well.

I have the vibrations as well, just not sure if it's the tires fault or not lol

my dealer already confirmed that the SRA's are not an all-terrain tire, everyone knows that. confirmed by tirerack as previously mentioned, my dealer is looking into getting me real A/T tires, and has told me to urge everyone to contact GM Customer assistance at 1-800-222-1020 regarding EVERY ISSUE WITH THE TRUCKS.... even they are sick of dealing with the complaints

Goodyear's website says they are AT so GM is not really cheating anyone even though the SRA's are cheap tires. They are also standard equipment on alot of other 4wd "off road" trucks. If GM put actual LT AT tires then people would raise hell about their gas mileage being below what the window sticker says it should be. If you don't like the tires then don't buy the truck or put on the set you want like everyone else does.

Problem is the manufacturer can market them however they want as I doubt there is a standard for what make an AT tire. And why wouldn't GY try to upsell the product. Typical marketing at work. And GM being stingy. I agree with part of your statement on the LT,s, I wouldn't expect an LT tire to come on the 1500 trucks. In any case I think most agree the GY's are not worth a $200-$300 upcharge and GM could be putting a better AT on with that upcharge. Looks like GM is getting away with it again just like the "normal operation" vibs people feel. Buy still I wonder why some like myself get the Bridgestones then. Is it a 4x4 vs z71 thing? Or an assembled in Mexico vs Fort Wayne thing? Or just a regional thing where final vehicle destination being a southern or northern state determines it.

let us not forget that even those trucks without the "upgrade" have WRANGLER SRA's which my dealer agrees is not an A/T tire, so no matter how you look at it, they owe us a better tire. I'm not paying an extra 350 to for the tire that come stock on the truck anyway.
