Fix Your Tire Vibration with Tire Truing!

[@ford-oz3vs]

Truing works incredibly well. Hardest thing is finding someone who can do it.

[@SloJoeRacing]

Yeah im lucky here in south Florida. Champion 4x4 has a machine to do it and both of their locations.

[@ford-oz3vs]

@@SloJoeRacing yup, you are lucky! The shop who did mine quit doing it. They had my 36 x 14.50" Swampers riding like BFG All-Terrains. It was fantastic.

i've always been a fan of tire truing but assuming you rebalanced the tires after truing, you tested tire truing+balancing, and you have no way of knowing what part of the result is from rebalancing and what part is from truing. to properly test this you'd need to first rebalance your tires and check how they ride city/hwy. then true+balance and check the ride again. if you did that you'd be controlling for balance and taking it out of the equation so the only thing you're comparing is true vs untrue

[@SloJoeRacing]

True statement. Ive only shaved the tires when ive noticed some sort of uneven wear. Im actually doing another tire shave this week but basically I can visually see how the tires are unevening wearing which balancing wont correct fully.

I just dropped my truck off at champion 4x4 same reason vibration I’ll see how it is when they r done

[@SloJoeRacing]

Let me know how It goes!

[@John___Dough]

Went great night and day difference I understand what your saying about smoothness it feels great I had to have 2 of my tires trued and I did a alignment and road force balance on all 4 one of my tires was at 60 road force it was a great experience with champion was 400$ and the problem is fixed there alignment is spot on will definitely go back to them in the future I caused this problem by neglecting to do a alignment right after a spacer lift on my truck and did a number on the tires they all cupped up

[@SloJoeRacing]

@@John___Dough That is awesome! Glad it helped!

[@deandregibson542]

How much rubbing do you have after the NorCal?

[@SloJoeRacing]

I trimmed quite a bit so I have no rubbing at all at the moment. Considering trying to fit 37's which will definitely bring back some rubbing.

[@deandregibson542]

@@SloJoeRacing sweet! Thanks for the reply I’ve got almost the same setup as you and everything is getting put together this Saturday. I bet the 37s would look sweet

@@SloJoeRacingI have a 15 Sierra and decided to spend the money and get adjustable coil overs on the front. Bro…night and day difference and rides so smooth!! I’m also sitting on 37’s and 26’s with no rubbing.

[@SloJoeRacing]

@@78fty95 That is great to know! I have one tire I need to replace and was considering going 37s but scared about the rubbing.

[@78fty95]

@@SloJoeRacing my coils are set at stock ride height which is 7” just to give you an idea. You can also add a leveling kit bc it bolts on the bottom of the coil on these newer body styles and then you could run 37’s without a doubt. Rim choice effects people the most, honestly. A more negative offset means you have to go higher to clear smaller tires. My 26’s are replica rims so they have a factory offset which keeps the tire mostly tucked under the fender. I also run 13.50 width on the 37’s

I'm having this done to my 1970 olds-442-w-30-conv tomorrow here in Texas...
