Is some seat vibration normal?

[Sin City Trail Boss]

Hello all.

 

As some of you know by reading my other threads, I have been having seat vibration issues with my truck.

 

I am on my 4th set of tires and I think I finally found one that is a good combo of street comfort and still has a little bite for off road.

 

Went with E-rated: https://www.bridgestonetire.com/tire/dueler-at-revo-3

 

I had the Falken Wildpeaks AT3W and they required a lot of weight to balance. They are 61 pounds per tire, and these bridgestones are 48 pounds per tire and they're both E rated.

 

The bridgestones required very little weight.

 

Although my seat vibration issues have drastically been reduced with these new tires, I am still getting some seat vibration/feedback at anything over 65-70 mph even on the smoothest of roads.

 

Is this normal, especially for these bridgestone which are not very aggressive, even for an A/T tire.

 

I would appreciate the feedback.

 

Thanks all.

I would think that would be a pretty smooth tire.  Are you still running the stock rims?

Yup.

Why E rated?  E's will ride like a brick, unless you're weighing them down with a load.

Unfortunately for this tire size they either have only P rated or E. I was a little worried about going P rated because I do off road on occasion, and was worried about getting tire punctures. 

 

I have 90 days to try these out. Wonder if I should go back and get P rated ones.

 

I will say these ride a lot smoother than the Falkens. I still have seat vibration, but it's a lot less than before.

I had non E range wildpeaks on my 2015 and could not get rid of the vibration. Half the reason I switched to the 2019 (other have was the wonky 6spd shifting)

 

Running the factory tires on the factory 22"s and have a little seat vibration still. Just had the dealer road force balance and it is better but still there sometimes. Seems worse when I let the truck sit for a couple days.

My truck has the same shake with stock everything.  Since the shake is at the bottom of my list compared to the other issues I haven't had the dealer look at it yet. 

 

Seems like 99% of larger tires size then stock only come in E load. Big reason why I haven't upgraded.

The only time I had almost zero vibration was when I switched tires with my buddy. 

 

It was his stock 18" wheels and tires. Same size as what I have now, only P rated and they were street tires.

 

I wonder if this is just a normal thing for this truck? I figured since the tire I purchased is not very aggressive at all, that I would have zero vibrations, but I have seat vibrations even in the smoothest of roads once I hit 65.

Took a video today of my vibration. This is what I've been dealing with. This is with the NEW tires.

Did you ever figure it out? I'm also having the same issue, planning on getting my rear tires road force tested to see if that helps. 2022 1500 with Z71 package.
