Nibble Gone...................
In for the third oil change at 7200 I figured I'd give them a shot at curing the nibble at 65-70mph. Service manager wanted me to take the tire guy for ride and show him the nibble. My nibble comes and goes, but the steering wheel shook just like I described when he was in the truck. He recommended Road Force Balancing. Left front BF Goodrich Rugged Trail couldn't be balanced close enough. They rotated the front tires to the rear and it's two week wait for a new tire.
Absolutely cured all vibration. It's like riding in your living room at 60-80mph.
They also did the pad under rear right fender..
My gripe is now I'll have 3 tires with 8000 more miles on them than the new one they will put on..
Has anyone else dealt with this. Any chance I can get them all replaced? Even a pair would be better than just one with 8k less on it.

I had the steering wheel nibble and a vibration too. One tire could not ne road forced, they ask me to wait 2 weeks...which I did. They called to say they had my tire...guess what they didn't. I calmly told the service manager that I was upset and would settle for nothing less than 5 new tires. He said that wasn't possible. I then called the ford complaint line in the owners manual, told them that I would not make a payment till this was fixed. An hour later the Manager of the parts deptment called to see when they could put on my new Michelins. I would give them the 2 weeks they asked for and then let them have it. Could you use your spare to have 2 "new" tires instead of one? Good Luck, Scott
