really rough ride after installing new Toyo Open Country A/T 3 19"

[LB Bill]

Rough as in constant vibration at speed

Wow. I need tires soon and the Toyo A/T III is on my list. Very interested to hear how this resolves. The reviews on these are generally very good.

Thanks all! I’m on stock pressure and the tire shop claims to use a Hunter Hawkeye (which looks camera based). I’m going to lower tire pressure as well as bring it somewhere with a road force machine.

Hunter Hawkeye is an alignment machine...?

Definitely go to a different shop for road force balancing. Around me, it' costs nearly 2x as much, but worth it.

Thank you! Rough as in constant vibration at speed. It’s particularly bad at 68 mph and above. The view out the rear view mirror gets hazy because the mirror is vibrating.

This is 100% a balance issue.

I installed a set of Open Country A/T III 255/60 19 last week and the ride is worlds better than my Open Country H/T and Cooper Zeons.

Wheels where refinished/straightened and the tires were road force balanced on a Hunter.

Your wheels are not balanced correctly.

Looks great! Those are the tires I plan to switch to in a couple of weeks. Any issues going to 255/60?

I can also say that I had Open Country A/T III's installed and they were smoother riding than the worn out Nokians they replaced. I have been very happy with the ride and performance thus far.

Happy ending. I went to a different shop and got them balanced on a road force machine. Smooth at speed now. Thanks for the help all.

I upgraded to this size (19 inch wheels) and had no issues. Very very small rub spot in the rear passenger wheel well, but this is only when you're pushing the car.

Great. Enjoy the tires, Toyo makes a good product.

Spin balanced or road-force balanced? I have found that road force balancing is the only way to go on the LR4. Try that first
