Tires are factory size 19s.
I expected the ride to be a little louder and a little less smooth when I jumped from pure street tires to an A/T but it's really bumpy at speed. I got it done at Town Fair Tire in the Boston burbs. They did a 4 wheel alignment when they mounted and balanced the tires. I had the two front tire re-balanced a few days ago and it's still rough.
I've had Duratracs and K04s on a pickup truck in recent years and they were fairly smooth.
The truck has 100k miles on it.
I'm thinking either:
-unbalanced (they tried to fix 2 out of 4 with no luck)
-tires out of round or just plain bad
-or a bad alignment (is there such a thing?)
The truck is borderline undrivable now. I'm going back to get it fixed but I'm wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at?
