Ride quality changed after new tires but it's not tires
Would love some expert help on troubleshooting. Have a 2017 Crew cab w/ 25k mi. that has always had amazing ride quality, even when the tires were worn and needed replacement. I replaced the tires with the same load range and size BFG KO2's that were worn. I ran at 38 psi.
From the time the tires were replaced - When I drive it over 50 mph the ride quality is poor and feels like a tire is out of balance. Seems to vibrate/hop like I'm driving over bumps. This happens when at speed in neutral also. I have put about 500 miles on them now and still the same. I have lowered pressures to 36 with no apparent change in ride.
I took it back to have the new tires re-balanced where I bought them. Still had the problem so I took it back again to have them balanced for the 2nd time. Picked it up, same problem.
For the 3rd attempt I took it to another place for balancing the tire that has the road force machine also. They balanced the tires said road force was good, one of the tires was off 2.5 oz. After 3 different trips it is still not a great ride like it has always been.
Doesn't seem to be the tires but something is not right. There is nothing visible underneath that looks out of place like leaf springs that show movement out of place, etc.
I suspect it could be drive shaft, axle, loose suspension part, maybe even brake issue but it does not change when braking. Educated Ideas?
Next trip is the dealer.
