Wheel Shake?
I am running on one year old Wild Country TXR 32x15x11.50 tires.I have completely rebuilt and rebushed the front end on my 71 F-100 4x4, put new shocks on it last week, the alignment is perfect,there is absolutley no play whatsoever at all in the front end.All this work was an attempt to get the left front wheel to quit shaking at highway speed.I have had the tire shop balance them all and rotate at every 3500 miles, I even had them use a different machine the last time, still at about 55 to 63 mph that da&% left front tire starts shaking .Is there any other reason that only the left front side will not stay balanced .Could it be a out of balance breke drum,spindle or hub. Nothing is bent and the bearings are new, any ideas are appreciated.

What I have experienced with over size tires is on alot of them when they get warmed up running at freeway speed sometimes they will form bumps like a tire that is cupping and that could be your shaking problem and when they cool off the bumps go away. one way to check for this is after you have run down the freeway and feel the shaking
get to where you want to go and run your hand around the tire now here is a trick if you are looking at the tire you probably won't feel a thing now CLOSE your eyes and run your hand down the tread
if your not looking at the tire you will be surprised what you will feel with one of your senses out of the picture. Like they say if you lose on of your senses the others will become more sensitive and take over. And this way you might just find the problem is in the tires
