I recently added a MBRP cat back exhaust and had my tires rotated and balanced.. I did these two at pretty much the same time..Now I have a vibration almost at 58 to 62 mph..I checked the tires and they had to much air so i adjusted them.. I don't notice it as much when cold..I have also checked the exhaust and all looks good..Could the tires have been balanced with to much air in them?? Will this cause a vibration at certain speeds??
Thanks. oh yeah 05 psd

Tires can cause vibration at certain speeds, air pressure when balanced will not effect the balance. Even a properly balanced tire will have a vibration at certain speeds. That being said, the balance may have been perfromed poorly, wheel weights may have fallen off or you may have a bad tire (out of round). Since you have checked the exhaust system and it is not hitting anything, take your truck back to the tire dealer and tell them you are getting a vibration between 58-62mph and let them troubleshoot and rebalance the tires.
ok i'll try that. The truck didn't vibrate before the balance and it does it according to speed and not engine rpm so I was leading more towards the tires but just wanted to get some opinions.. You feel it through more the steering wheel than anything.. Thanks

Based on that i would definitely say tires. Also make sure they use a Torque wrench to tighten down the lug nuts, not an air wrench. Improper lug nut torque can lead to warped rotors, broken studs or loose wheels.
