Road Force balnace failed?

[wildlyfe200]

I took my 2017 Denali CC, OEM 22s with Bridgestone Duelers in for the vibration that has been plaguing me for the last 10k miles. I'm at 16k now. Here is what happened. Road force balancing pretty much solved my problem in my short test drive. But here is what has me scratching my head.

 

"Road Forced balanced to the highest degree possible, 2 tires still failed"

 

So if tires are not even able to be roadforce balanced shouldn't they need to be replaced?

 

Should I just complain and say the truck still vibrates and push to get them replaced?

 

The truck still does have a vey slight vibration but it is leaps and bounds better.

Did they move the tires on the rims to try to lessen the road force? When you get a high road force, your supposed to remove the tire from the rim, spin it 180 degrees and reinstall the tire and then re do the road force. And see if it goes down. The truck is still under a factory warranty and should not have a vibration. If they cannot figure your issue out, then go to someone that can or speak to someone higher up. If the wheel is out of round like they are saying I'm guessing? Then they need to be replaced. Again, the truck is under warranty 3/36k is basic. Which normally covers everything. Your driving a Denali... it's top of the line, there should be no issues at all. Especially at that mileage.

I wonder if you went by a Bridgestone tire dealer, if it would be anything they could or would do, since the tires are their product.

That is a good question I see they have a 5 year warranty for manufacture defect and workmanship but the website also mentions tread uniformity is warrantied for 1/32 of tread wear I wonder which category out of round tires would fall?

I would think you are out of that warranty period.  12 months or 12k miles which ever comes first.  Our 2016 Suburban had vibration issues. They road forcetested it and it failed the two front tires.  They replaced them under warranty since it was at 7k miles on the vehicle.  Been smooth ever since.

 

With all these vibration issue threads. I didn't read through them all but are the tires being replaced and it still has vibration issues?

In my area there is a shop (Chicago Wheel and Rim) that straightens bent alloy rims. Had two on my Buick done last winter the previous owner had put 2" dents into. There must be someone in your area that does this.

I had two that couldn’t be balanced when I first got my trust. They were replaced under warranty.

Yes most definitely. People have had Tires road force balanced, tires replaced, rear axles replaced, drive shaft replaced, torque converters and Drinks are still jumping out of the cup holder. How far down-the-line you get depends when GMC wants to say it's within spec.

 

I was pretty nervous that I would end up in that situation but I had a good feeling it was the tires because the vibration started after my 1st rotation but just haven't had time to get into the dealer for the last 10000 miles

Well they said it was out of round tires so I'm not sure if the rims could be the problem but they very well could be. And the 22's on the 2017 are not alloy they are steel powder coated rims with plastic Chrome inserts. It took me a month or 2 to figure out that they weren't actually Chrome kind of disappointing.
