I just had a set of new wheels and tires installed on my truck yesterday. I took it to highway speed and noticed the wheels were out of balance. Had the shop rebalance the wheels again today and still have vibrations at highway speed. Does anyone know what the cause of this vibration? The wheels are fuel dune 20x9 20mm offset. Tires are BFG TA/ KO2 in LT275/55/R20 any input is appreciated!

Well, it could be a wheel problem. Alternatively, it could be a tire problem. Even less likely, it is a combination wheel and tire problem.

Sounds like the wheel/tires are either improperly balanced OR the wheels are installed incorrectly. The fuels are not hub centric so it is imperative that the wheels are installed with the tires off the ground and are evenly torqued in a star pattern.

Each brake drum has a small metal clip that needs to be removed before installing aftermarket wheels. It's a common mistake that really throws off balance.

yanzhixiang - BFG considers this tire one of their best A/T tire ever, but you may have bad tires. Take the truck back to the shop and have the tires dismounted from the wheels, then check to see if the tires are out of round. If the tires are not in a perfect circle, the steel belts may have come loose. If this is the case, these tires can't be fixed and must be replaced.

I would put my money that the brake clips are still on or they either did not put on your hub rings or did not realize that they needed them and did not sell them to you. However it could very well be they just don't know how to balance which is not uncommon.

I just ask the shop who install the tires and wheels about the stud clips and hub rings. They said the clips were removed and hub rings was installed on all four wheels. With another failed attemp at balancing my wheels, they said I provided bad tires. Well I guess next step is to check with my tire shop and see what they say. I hope they get it fixed cuz the tire/combo is balling. Again, I apperciate all of your inputs.

I hope you get this figured out, I am in the position, except I have goodyear wrangler duratracs, I have had them rebalanced 4 times not. Today they said I could get credit on the tireS and get something different. I am looking at the same tire that you have, so I am very very interested in this.. Like I said I really hope you get this issue fixed.

I had the same thing with my truck and the fix was Road Force balancing. They found a bad rim when doing the RF balancing. All is well now and I enjoy driving my truck.

I'd still pull the wheels and check. I wouldn't take their word for it, because they may just assume the tech did his job correctly. If it was a balancing issue shouldn't they recognize this during the process?

i have a set of OE replica 20" in black chrome on my truck that just yesterday the 4th time i have taken it back to discount tire to balance i finally got them running smooth on the highway.

 

all i can tell you is they had to road force balance them. they had to test for runout and rotate the tires on the rim, then re balance.

the clips are no problem if you have recesses in the back of the wheel around the lug hole.

      Still looks like a rivet to me in the pics, I don't see a nut and none of the pics show the head of the screw. But if you says so.....

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.
