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.

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
