I ran them with a 325/65/18 with great results on my 04.

I have a set ready to be installed in the 285/50/22 on the dually. Im sure the results will be as good as I had with the last truck.

At the tire shop now waiting for 6 oz bags to get put in my lml. Everytime I rotate the tires would be out of balance. Between 65 and 75 mph. 3 different tire brands and sizes. This last re balance didn't work at all. Going to leave the sticky weights on at first, then remove if i have Problems. I'll let you guys know how it goes. ......

need help to understand cause my brand new truck is shaking like shakira!

are they throwing the full bag in or are they cutting it? i had some put in today and drove about 300 miles and it beats the shit out of me. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Two possibilities. One they did not cut the bag open or there is a lot of tire bead lube inside the tire that has caused the beads to clump.

I have been using them in my 05 Dmax for 6 years and the truck runs as smooth as silk.

come to find out, they don't work to well on dual rear wheels, one WHEEL balance fights the one beside it.

chevor, you are correct about the use of beads with the duals. I had no luck using beads when I went to the 19.5 Alcoas. Even had one tire bead break going down the interstate with the beads. What I found that worked best for me was to balance the rear wheels using weights. For the inboard duals i put weights both outboard and inboard. For the outer duals I put weights on the inboard bead and used sticky weights to compensate for not putting weights on the outboard bead. All of this was done on a Road Force Balancer.

I then put on a set of Centramatics and never looked back. Wished that I had just gone with the Centramatics from the beginning and saved a lot of a$$ pain.

Hope this helps.

I bought some for my p/u and m/c last year.
Never got to put in my p/u cuz tires were purchased at COSTCO and they wouldn't install beads.
I DID put them in my motorcycle tires. Seem to work okay. Got a real slight shimmy at 120 MPH so I backed off.
I wouldn't say that was a negative, then again, it shouldn't get any shimmy
Just saying.
Got a new p/u and will figure a way to install when I need new tires, maybe tell COSTCO not to balance them. We'll see how that goes over
