Tires holding up good?

I was hoping to rid the vibration. As soon as I took it off, I didn't think the U joints were a problem. It has had it for a long time, maybe before we bought it. You can start to feel it around 50 and gets worse, probably feel it more on coasting. Guess I'll have to see if any place around in Vermont can balance one.

Well, it's a little tough carrying my phone in a water park. I phones typically don't like getting wet.

The Rotiiva AT Plus have held up extremely well considering they were loaded almost to max weight and were on some pretty terrible roads. Chip seal is like sandpaper to tires. I have 80% left on the rears (swapped from front at 7,000 miles in Missoula, MT). Fronts are at 60%. I was hoping to rotate a bit sooner but few places could handle the truck with the camper on and I didn't want to take it off.
