Just bought a 07 Lariet High Line with the 20in Goodyear A/T OWL tires.
I took the truck for a test ride around town seemed fine...
It was late, dealer was closed by the time I got out of there with my new truck.
3:30am comes fast so streight home to bed for me, country roads.
Anyway on my 65 mile trip to work I notice a vibe at hiway speeds.
On the way home my teeth are rattling, stop at the dealer
hopeing it's just a wheel out of balance.
I'm told to leave the truck, they will send it out for a hi-speed pressure balance.
Then they call me and say the tire center said all 4 tires are out of round!
No way they will balance out...need to replace all 4!
Needless to say it will be wensday or thursday before they even get tires for it.
And yes I left it at the dealer which sucks, didnt even have it 24 hours!
Anyone else have a problem with these tires?
No way my truck gets 4 bad tires and all the rest are good......
I always buy Goodyear tires..dont really no why but I do...
I'm really hoping the new ones spin even.
BTW each wheel had about a 4in long weight on it?
I also looked at the only other truck on the lot with the same tires and rims,
it also had weights on it just like mine....BIG!
Oh did I mention this is my 5th SD sence 1999
And here I get a V10 to avoid anymore issues with the 6.0 and bam! bad tires

My 06 came with the 20" Continentals and no probs there after 2500 miles. However if I had it to do over again, I wouldn't got with the 20". There is not enough selection out there for replacments when it comes to the load rating that the factory tires have.

 

My '06 has the 20"Goodyears. I have about 6,400 on the truck with no problems.

 

15,450 and all is fine w/ mine.

 

I have had my truck for two months now. 20" goodyear tires. Noticed the rear bouncing a little when I drove home. Figured it was a flat spot from sitting. At 400 miles I took it back to have balanced. Was told 3 tires were bad. One week before they would get them. I purchased truck on first week of my vacation 100 miles from home. Saw the dealer near the end of 2nd week so I cold not wait around or come back.

Got back home and had local dealer order the tires. Dropped truck off and they had it for 2 days. They replaced all four tires. Drove out and still had the same problem.

I took it back a week later and they had it for 7 days this time. They replaced two new rear tires and could still not get them balanced. They have 2 tires on order to replace the two rears again but they are on backorder and hope to have them end of next week.

Once they replace the two rears and if this does not solve my problem I am dropping of one last time and advise them I am starting the lemon law process. So if when I pick up the truck if it is not fixed we will see what happens then.

 

Sounds like the rims are way out of balance and new tires just aren't able to compensate.

 

Dam the bad luck for us chi6488.
I'm thinkin my truck will be sent back to the tire center for mounting
and balance? If so maybe they wont let it go unless it's right?
These Goodyear A/T are good lookin tires and comming from Goodyear
I'd think they'd be top quailty.....
Oh well, it anit like ford never had trouble with tires before.
I do know chit happens but this is obvius, even with the huge weights.
As a matter of fact I work for Fo.Mo.Co. so I've seem some bad calls to
ship things in the past, just like any other auto maker!
I highly doubt it's the rims.....
Cargo weight is really not a big deal for me, I do tow a 10,000lb camper
so anyone know of another 20in A/T tire thats up to par if needed?
Gene oh?
