Working on the rear tires this time. I have 295-50-15 BFG. Quite a bit of seat shake at 65 to 75 mph. Not a solid shake but a on and off one. Had the tires shaved (made round.) Then balanced on a Hunter 9700 machine. Road force was measured at 25 and 29 #’s. This shop won’t do tires over 30 #’s. My numbers were quite a disappointment after the effort of getting them shaved. Drove on them yesterday. The shake is now around 70 mph and is constant. About 1/2 of the before shake. Conclusion is there is an improvement. I was hoping to eliminate the entire shake but it is better. I’ve looked at all the other tire brands and not come up with tires that meet my requirements. I’ll keep checking the tire companies every 6 months.
