#25 of 26 Re: Need new tires [mcoleman08] by rsht Oct 25, 2009 (5:55 am)
Replying to: mcoleman08 (Oct 22, 2009 9:57 am) Not sure if you have heard/tried the TireRack.com and the DiscountTire.com for your research? See links below...   As far as wheel alignment, assuming you are staying with the exact same sized tires as before then its not required; but a good idea to have the alignment checked or have it done if you have not had the wheels aligned before. With so many sub-par alignment shops/mechanics and/or the lack of routine alignment machine calibration, some times may be better off just to leave the alignment alone if your current tires are not showing any irregular wear... if that is the case, I would just keep a close eye on the new tires, if there is any sign of uneven wear, then I will take the car in for an alignment, My 2 cents. Good luck!   http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSearchResults.jsp?tireIndex=1&autoMake=GMC&aut- oYear=2007&autoModel=Yukon+Denali&autoModClar=&width=275/&ratio=55&diameter=20&s- ortCode=60062&skipOver=true&minSpeedRating=S&minLoadRating=S&tab=All   http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/toggleShowingAllTireProducts.do?fcpr=&c=3&rcz=6- 0560&ar=55&fcsr=&rf=true&fcs=false&rd=20&ct=null&rc=ILCINT&cs=275&dVeh=dVeh&yr=2- 007&fclr=&cf=false&vid=010279&fcb=&sw=false

Replying to: DJAucutt (Nov 28, 2008 6:51 pm) Not sure if this is the same, but I have 4 goodyear wranglers 265 75 r 16 on a GMC yukon (they were on my GMC suburban too) and both SUV's had the same wobble or vibration at about the same speed range, that is, it was most noticable between 65 and 80mph. the tires have been balanced 3 times now by different shops and this has not changed these F'd up tires. I blame the GOODYEARS for this and have not had the time or energy to seek out a real solution since they are out of warranty based on time (2 years) not treadwear (less than 2/32). I should have pursued it at the beginning. I have heard there is a better balancing / round / performance whatever tester that can determine if the tires have other problems like being out of "round", but do not know where to find one. maybe an authorized goodyear shop.
