    :D...yeah don't mind the new sneakers but, believe it or not trying to find them in 15" is a real pain in the arse.....:mad:
    everybody is starting to sell nothing smaller than a 17" cause thats what is in demand.
    I can get 15's but they are special order......:( and we all know what that means.

    If it's in the wheels or tires...

    If it's in the wheels or tires then rotating the tires will usually cause a very noticable change. not cure it - just change it. rotate front to back on same side. also did you shift into nuetral at vibration speed? have you had the tires balanced. BFG AT are great tires but all tire shops are not the same. a bad mounting can cause problems. how well do you trust the shop that said your wheels were good and everything else yhey tested. good luck

    Found a shop in Dallas that has some 15"s ....he said he had a few left out back that he would make me a good deal on. Going to ride out there tommorow and see what he has...hopefully it wont be a waste of my fuel & time. Wife has the day off friday so, I'm going to also have my drive shaft checked out. I'll keep you posted.

    :mad::mad:...man that guy was a rip-off, the tires he had were retreads
    yeah his good deal was too good...he wanted to sell me a set of piss poor tires{31x10x15} for almost $400 and he was serious...:mad:
    anyway I got outta there in a hurry and then headed over to "discount-tire"
    and put some money down on some "new" tires...I figured if I'm gonna spend
    the money I'm going to get new ones.
    Let ya know what I get.
