I have a situation Id like to get some thoughts on. 2000 4runner sr5 5speed.
I purchased a set of Yokohama Geolander MT's, 265/75R16 E load. I have a bad pulsing vibration at different speeds starting around 50mph. 4th or 5th gear, doesn't matter. I swapped on my Dads BFG AT's E load and the vibration went away. Manager of discount says pulsing vibration it's common with E rated tires on 4runner's and Taco's and suggests I switch to Passenger load M/T Baja boss AT's. M/T told me they don't recommend the passenger load for the terrain I'll be in. I'm trying to decide what to do. I really want to keep my Yokohama G003's but this pulsing vibe is going to be hard to live with. I've had the tires balanced 4 times since I bought them but I'm having a hard time buying that this isn't a bad tire or a balance issue. I put my tires on my Dads 04 Taco and it shook pretty bad at highway speed.
The manager of discount road forced them on friday. One of the rear tires has 6 ounces on it and he said it road forced at 18. The rest have around 2 ounces. The vibration feels like it comes from the back to me. I'm suspicious of that tire. The other rear tire was replaced after I bought them because it road forced at 48.
