These guys are all right, because when something similar happened to me I did everything that they have suggested to you in this thread. None of what they have suggested to you worked for me. I ended up listening to my girlfriend (I should have done that from the beginning) and I bought a new set of tires. It ended up being sidewall problems on the insides of my tires, and now I have no problems at all.
Sounds like you had a defective tire, that should have been caught when they balanced them.

Or you didn’t have truck tires, some people will put car tires on before they sell their truck so it looks like you have good tires. But the sidewalls are thinner, less plys.

Always but tires rated for trucks.

Oh ya Jaymack and from the looks of your picture of your truck you need a ball joint.

LOL Nope, no ball joints needed. Thats what most people say when they see my suburban. I have a complete custom made air ride system and when its layed all the way out they camber in like that.

About those tires, they were rated for a truck, and they didn't develop the sidewall tumors until a year after I had gotten them. It was just a freak thing I reckon.
Well now I understand why your sidewalls were bad. There is no way any tire can handle the things you did.

Doing things like that to a truck cause problems and not just to the tires. What happened to your truck is not related to the problem someone would have with a stock truck, In this thread.

I’m sure you will have the same problem with those front tires again if you continue to run like that.

It still doesn’t do the tires any good, driving or parked.
