Bingo. I'm too cheap so ill wait till mine are shot to spend the money. Mines tolerable but still do hole shots to wear them out faster.

I dont do burnouts on mine. Michelin tire smoke would be like smoking top shelf reefer. The ****'s too expensive to smell.

Road force balancing in gm speak means this. We installed **** tires on your vehicle that suck so to make the suckage tolerable we spent millions developing a tool to balance complete **** tires that only makes them marginally tolerable instead of putting a quality tire on your 40 plus thousand dollar truck. It's polishing a turd is all it accomplishes. From the experiences of a GM tech!

That's the way I feel about it, it seems like I'm just getting the runaround, I also went on the test drive with the shop foreman of that dealer today, and he says all I'm feeling is the road because of the struts that I have in (bilstein leveling) that my ride is stiffer thats why I feel that, he even thought it was a 2500 by the way it looks and the engine, but a case in point is my 2002 1500 has a 6 inch lift with 35's and i don't feel any such vibration, even with almost 4 year old tires (toyo a/t), between 50-60 like in my new one.........

Default update.....

so its been 4 months, and what I ended up doing is a lemon law buy back, it breaks my heart to do it, but when you go to different dealerships and they pretty much ignore what you tell them is wrong, I just had enough, I loved the truck, just not the issues that shouldn't happen with a brand new truck....
