Vibration at 60mph. TRD Pro wheels and BFG KO2

I recently bought a set of BFG T/A KO2 265/70/17 for my 2015 TE. I ran them on my stock wheels for about 1000 miles and then decided to upgrade to TRD Pro wheels. I got them mounted and immediately noticed a vibration at 55-60 mph. I took it back to discount tire and they said a weight had come off so they rebalanced them and left my wheels a mess(adhesive from the old weights, scratches from the air tool).... Since the fix I still feel a vibration in the steering wheel at 55-65 mph. Is this something that I should be worried about? I don't recall having any vibration at this speed with my stock TE wheels and the KO2s.

I think its possible that one of the wheels is faulty? If that is the case they should have a Toyota warranty right? I bought them from a Toyota dealer on Ebay.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you rotated tires at same time, good chance it is tire problem - won't really notice rear tire, but move it to front and you will feel it right away.
 
I have had the same thing with new OEM and aftermarket wheels...Just keep having Discount tire work on it. It took me 3 trips to get the front right and will take another to get the rear.

I just explained to them over and over that it spends allot of time on the highway so its important.
 
Did they spin balance them or road force balance them? If they just did a spin balance take them back and road force balance them.
 
Pray that it's not radial warp.

It's what happens when cheap shit tire stores stack tires high and the ones on the bottom can get retarded and oscillate at very specific speeds.

I had a set of Michelins on my old 3rd gen that would wobble like crazy at 70mph to the point you couldn't drive it.

The guy at the tire shop said if the last balance didnt work they might just replace the tires. I would be okay with that solution. I will let them road force test first though.
 
after 4 balances at discount tire I decided to take it to the dealership to check out the issue. They called me the next day and said BFG was sending a new set of tires to replace them under warranty. Only put a few miles on it since the new set was installed but I didn't notice the vibration. I will update after a few hundred miles.
