Default Tire ride smooth

Im getting tired of my tires kept off the balance sometimes ride smooth then shake a little. Went to place do a balance. It's perfect. Then in few days later come back same issues. It getting annoying. New tires are about 4 months old. Weird name. It's call arovd tires. Its 275/45/20 on my boss 330 20x8.5. Wonder if add a taller like about 1/4 or 1/2 taller make ride smooth? What size tires I can't figure out. Don't want see tires fat or wider. Just want same wide on the current. But just need a little taller? Let me know. I want solve this problem. Kauffman always put balance stick patch on the wheels. Let me know.

Unfortunately I'm having the same problem, stupid 22's are shaking all over the place, and they've been balanced recently.

Personally I'm fed up with the big wheels, so I'm going smaller.
Not to mention their heavy as Sherman clump at a golden corral on Friday night...

Do they shake at a certain speed? My friends truck was doing that and the tire(s) had busted belts.

The smaller sidewall you get the more ride quality you give up. I have never heard of that tire brand either.

My shake was from a bad hub on the left front, but it cupped the tires to the point where they still have a shake to them.
