Did the dealer say what was wrong with the tire? My first thought with a vibration problem is that a tire is out of balance. I am having good luck with Michelin tires so far.

The service write up states:
"LT FT tire failed road force and is vibrating. Checked road force and balance of LT and RT FT tires. LT FT tire failed at 81 lbs. OEM matched tire to attempt to bring within limits. Still failed at 74 lbs. Ordered replacement tire. Checked road force of new tire, passed at 36 lbs."
So what is "road force"? I didn't have a clue until I looked it up here: http://www.motorweek.org/features/go...orce_balancing

Thanks for the education! I never heard of "Road Force" in tire/wheel management. Now to find a place that uses this technology...
