Got 5 new ****** tires today. I had one new one that was on the truck when I bought it. the rest were a mixed bag of lousy tires, so I replaced the 5 mixed tires with 5 new ones that match the one good tire I had.
Anyway, got 2 new ones on the front and the balanced them with "equal". Set off on my way home and at around 35-40, there's a wobbling or shuddering in the suspension. The steering wheel is fine, no shaking, nothing. Alignment is great, too.
Drove truck back to tire dealer, we jacked it up, and turned all 6 wheels. Everything looks really straight. All we found was an old wheel weight on one of the fronts. Thinking that was the answer, we took the old wheel weight off, and I hit the road again.
Still shudders at ~35-40 mph.
Think the equal powder may have clumped-up inside one of the front tires? Have I not waited long enough for the equal to start working? I drove it ~30 miles.
It's not a bad shudder, but it wasn't there with my old crappy, mismatched tires.
