So I went to Goodyear today and they pulled off my 2 front tires. They said the one was 'hopping' around on the machine and they replaced it with a new. An hour later I jumped on the highway, hit 65 and still 'wobbling'...

The truck is going to the dealership tomorrow all day and I told them to look over EVERYTHING! Let's hope they fine somthing or I all already told the Goodyear guys I'm not liking this whole thing...

Thanks I'll see whats up with the dealer tomorrow and go from there. I was also thinking these tires might be alittle to 'tready' for my truck and looking at something else they have (Goodyear) Fortera Triple Tred ove the more aggressive Wrangler Silent Armors I got...

What part about putting on a Michelin didn't you understand? Trust me, it'll be the smoothest riding truck you've probably ever owned.

Dealership confirms it's the tires... Said they aren't balancing right and they tried and still got the 'wobble' plus the one is hopping. They said get different tires or road force balance these and I'm thinking new Fortera Triple Tred's cause the Goodyear guys already offered...

Oh and thanks for the advice hirdlej have another on me

WHOO HOO New Goodyear Fortera Triple Treds = No wobble! I even got it up over 90 and other then our wonderful PA roads no wobble in the steering wheel at all!!!

They only had to put a few ounces of weights on too compared to the Silent Armor ones...

I'm still going to put the Fabtech stabilizer on (ordered) and probably the rings but I am SERIUOSLY thinking of selling mine now and getting and '09 next month...
