Had them put back on stock Nitto Terra grapplers G2’s. Steering wheel no shake. Can you believe that. I was not going thru getting them road force balanced. There are posts on where guys tried that and still did not work. Just a little info.

I can believe it. I've never owned a Goodyear tire I liked. Sumitomo was in business for several years with Goodyear. Sumitomo is the parent company of Falken. I felt it was likely that some of Goodyear's poor quality might have trickled down...
Recently a buddy of mine and manager of a national tire chain told me his company has had lots of problems with Falken tire uniformity.
Based on his recommendation for a moderate A/T, and my own research, I went with the Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015. It is as quiet as the Dunlops that came on my 4Runner, but these are much better in the rain, snow, and the trails it's been on since they were installed. Much better in the rain than the KO2's I had on another vehicle.
No vibration or shimmy up to 80 mph. They are a firmer ride than stock being LT265/70R17 E, but it doesn't bother me.
