I had a similar problem with my 10 SR5 Dunlop 17s. It seemed more prevalent in the morning when I would jump on the interstate...between 55 and 65 it would shimmy the steering wheel. But other times seemed random. Went through the balancing etc. I ended up trading for 20s with a limited and its...

i wonder if they are color keyed?

same issue here on my 5th gen. light blinks then is steady for the duration. i swapped 17s for 20s as well but left the tpms with the original wheels and did not touch the spare so i have a mixed bag now. will have it reset at discount tire when i'm ready to rotate or balance next. stealership...

i'm averaging about 3 mpg better on my 5th gen vs my 4th gen.

actually i did not. i have free changes up to 80k miles (every 5k ). just got the 10k letter in the mail today after having it changed yesterday. the interesting part would be those waiting 10k for first change. who knows what oil was put in when they built the runners? was it the synthetic or not?

this is pretty bad that the dealers are not consistent/updated on oil change intervals. i went in yesterday for my first at 5k and they mentioned nothing about changing to 10k. looks like they used 5w-20 and the sticker says next due in 3months or 5k.

I went in for my first change as well the other day at the dealer at 5k and they mentioned nothing about changing to every 10k as well. my deal included changes at 5k up to 80k miles if that makes a difference.

interesting..mine look like they are lined up with a red/rust colored dot instead of the yellow one. whats the red one for?

what is the significance of the yellow dot lining up with the valve stem?

did he mention if they were color keyed or black? seems expensive to not be color keyed.

Wouldnt you be bound to local laws in other states anyhow? if it was legal in MA and you travel to NY or NH are you bound to the tint laws there?

x3 traded my 06 for a 10 and the 06 brakes same noise and feel 4yrs and never an issue.

the POS dunlops came with my 17s and had a vibration between 55 and 65. i never took it to the dealer cuz i was going to swap for 20's or upgrade the tires. i swapped mine for 20s with the yoko's the other day and the problem is gone.

i already swapped mine with cavemanmatt today.

Ha...likewise. My driveways warmer down here ;)
