Once the tires warm up and maximum pliability returns, ALL the vibrations and road noise go away.....and the truck rides VERY smooth and quiet!!!
BTW, your choice in tires was my first choice, but were unavailable locally in a reasonable period of time.

I wish my thump, thump sound and vibe would go away after the tires warmed up. I drove 30 minutes on a smooth interstate last night and between 58-63 I getting my thump and vibe. I watched my steering wheel and observed the feed back. I do not get any shimmy in the wheel until I hit 60 and it usually goes away after 70. The faster I go the smoother everything gets. I have faith in my dealer that it will get resolved.

04FX4 and newto150......
I am sorry to hear that your vibration and noise problems do NOT go away as your tires warm up to maximum pliability. I wish I had the "quick-fix" answer for you....but I don't.
Please continue to work with your dealers and have faith in their diagnostic and service capabilities. Ford Motor Company is a HUGE corporation, and they and their dealers really do care that you are having these "problems". I am confident that in a "reasonable amount of time", they will find and fix the cause of your vibration "problems".
I hope YOU and EVERYBODY at FTE have a VERY Happy Easter!!

i had the general tires on my 2004 STX 4x4 and also had tire vibration in the morning on the way to work, 1st mile or 2 and it would go away. i just bought a set of lariet wheels and BFG tires off ebay which look a lot nicer and as an added bonus, got rid of all the shaking.
