Vibration at 60 MPH
Hey guys I have read a bunch off vibration stories on here through the past threads but I will go ahead an tell you my problem. I just got a new set off tires on my superduty about 3 weeks ago. I have less then 500 miles on the new tires. Since the new tires I have had a vibration in the font at 60 MPH. Its not extreme but noticeable. My tires were balanced before they were installed. Im sure its the tires causing this issue because it did not occur before with the old tires. Would the balancing job not be done right to cause this problem. Or would it be just the tires themselves. Ill go back to the shop that put them on an tell them whats going on an see waht they say. Just seein what you guys would think. Defective tries possibly. I have never had the front end aligned but the truck does not wonder but drives straight. I checked the ball joints when the truck was on the lift an they were tight no looseness at all. Would the steering satbilizer cause this issue. Its original on the truck. 2003 7.3 PSD with 54,900 miles. Thanks for any tips or help here. Just wanna get to the bottom off this.

The tires are stock. 16 inch that came with the truck. They are not a highway tire but have are all weather tread that will be good mud an snow. I would imagine the tires would be rplaced under warrnaty if they are defective. If everything else checks out alright.
What about the steering stablizer? What issue would that cause.?Do they go bad? How do you tell?

I agree, you should have the tires rebalanced by the guys you bought them from. They should be under a warranty too, so if the balancing doesn't work, have them replace it for another one. It's just like a pair of shoes, if it doesn't fit right, exchange them.
