So I bought a couple of new tires about a month ago and had them balanced. Put them both on the port side of the trailer. Now I have a crazy vibration that kicks in at 60 mph and then stops when I get to about 70 mph. I assume it is tied to the new tires (Goodyear Endurance) but maybe it is something else. I am thinking about pulling the tires tomorrow and getting them road force balanced? I had regular balancing on them.
Is there something else I should be checking? Any ideas?
Its the tires.
2024 Phoenix 818, Mercury 175 (3B414035) Trick Steps, 3 Garmin 106 SV,s, LVS 34. BoatEFX dual bow mount. Ionic 12V 125AH, 2 12V 100 ah LiTime’s for the TM. Minn Kota 345 PCL charger,
Head over to Discount Tires and have them load balance them. But it sounds like you have a tire out of round. Take the whole rig and have them balance all of them.
Balance the tires on the opposite side.
Sounds good. I am going to jack it up and pull all four tires to take in tomorrow. Thanks for the advice.
Balance or check all 4. Check out of round on the new ones, all though the Endurance tires have been pretty problem free.
Make sure the tire shop is balancing them with the proper procedure. It's been my experience few even know what lug centric balancing is and just spin balance by the hub opening, which could be causing vibration as explained in the videos.

Ended up having One tire that was separating. Glad I caught it.
Thanks for the update.
