Congrats Sean, it's always nice to have resolution to an ongoing problem.

Hi Sean, was replacing the tires the final fix? I'm still tracking down a vibration on mine, it's 75% better but I think the tires are the last component. Congrats on fixing yours!

New wheels solved 99% of it. There is still a small vibe which I think might be due to my existing tires. I don't have the cash to buy a whole new set and these still have plenty of life left in them. Other causes of my vibration could be unbalanced axle half shafts, my new wheel spacers, as well as just having mildly aggressive tread on the tires. One of the wheels has about 1/3 of its circumference covered in wheel weights.

Cool, glad to hear you have it mostly solved! I've got a slight vibration at 65 or so, which I think may be my tires.

Sounds about right, I have always had issues balancing BFG A/Ts or M/Ts new or used, I'd get them to balance though come hell or high water, I remember when I had my 35s, on rims was 2/3 of the way full with weights, but tell you what those 35s rode smoother then any of my 33s lol!!!

I never really had a problem balancing my general a/t2 tires but I did have a slight issue with my Treadwrights. They were the metric size that measures out to a 34". Not one of them carried the same weight to balance. One had two weights and there was another that had eight lol. Great grip though. Might go for them again when the 4runner is done with the DD days.
