i feel for you ! I hate buying tires... i always get shafted.

yeah, i think that's my plan.

it's slight, and enough to see the steering wheel shake. I assume the tech knew what he was doing.. he sounded like he did until he blamed the road we were on during the test. I'll keep the print out idea in the back of mind for down the road. might be good to check out. Thanks!

lol, i went about 600 and just rotated back for the smoother ride. I got some interstate driving coming up so maybe i'll switch them back after the road trip to take your advice. Thanks!

its really frustrating... I'm going to drive another 500 miles on it to see if it goes away then I think I'm going to switch the tires back to where they run better. My buddy says he never rotated tires his tires since his alignment is fine... i guess ill take a chance.

no, sorry for the confusion. The tech meant moving the whole wheel to recommended spots on the truck (front or rear). He says each wheel checks out fine balancing wise on the machine, but i guess any irregularities cancel each other out in certain placements on the truck. (front or rear) I...

the tech road forced them again and said they are balanced. They didn't just reply they are balanced. I asked that they didn't put the tires where the road force machine recommends because i just rotated. I can rotate back to the old positions and the shimmy/vibration is gone. it just...

I've been banging my head against the wall lately. I recently changed to BF Goodrich A/T's and love them on my stock 2006 wheels. I had to get them road forced balanced and ran them for about 10K miles and they ran great at all speeds. Now i just rotated and i'm getting a vibration at 60 -...

sounds good guys! thanks for the input.

Is DDM a reputable company? I'm reading some decent reviews here, but some horror stories online. Go figure, found the horror stories after i ordered... lol. Thank goodness I used my AMEX in case I need to dispute.

i asked a toyota service guy about this one time and he said not to worry about it. just fill it up when you're close to zero :) i guess some things you just can't let bother ya

Plugs changed after 30K?? I got 80k on my 06 Sports Ed. V6 4x4, haven't touched the plugs at all and it runs great. Thinking about giving the MAF sensor a shot of the cleaner, but other than oil changes, tires, alignment, brakes, and 2 front rotors thats it! knock on wood :) I change the...

road force is well worth the extra money. DO IT!!!

is there a method to using the touch up paint pen? Does it go on light? i've seen some bad touch up jobs before where it looked like someone drew a line with a marker. IMO the scratch looks better.

06 Sports Edition with 80K miles... no leaks. smooth ride.
