I contacted the person that i purchased the 395's from and he has offered to exchange the michelins for a set of goodyears that have never touched the ground.. I am thinking about spending the few extra dollars to go this route. From my research, the goodyears are much lighter, especially...
After a couple of weeks of trying to get this tire and wheel combo to feel comfortable while i am driving, I have come to the conclusion that the big tires arent worth it. I will reinstall the 11.00-20 ndcc's back on and enjoy driving my truck again.
I drove it again today. The shake in the steering wheel is intermittent. straight line driving around 50mph and everything is relatively smooth. I do notice a shake in the wheel in a turn, curve etc.
Well the 395s are bolted to the truck, front shims have been modified, and a short test drive. I went from a comfortable one handed driver to a nervous two handed driver. It appears that I will have to do some balancing after all. Next weekend I will go ahead and slime all 6 tires.
All of these replies sound very encouraging, not to mention light on my wallet!
Thanks for the offer 3dAngus, looks like I am going to take my chances.
I am getting ready to install my new rims and tires this weekend. Every truck tire shop near me cant balance these big wheels. I still have the run flats in them, so beads are out. any suggestions?
