PURCHASED 2 NEW(?) WRANGLER ST TIRES FROM DEALER ON 11/09/2005 BUT DATE CODE ON TIRE WAS 2504 TO MATCH ORIGINAL 2 STILL IN GOOD SHAPE. BREAKS REDONE FRONT END ALIGNMENT PERFORMED. FRONT END OF TRUCK STILL VIBRATED AT HIGHER SPEEDS ON LEVEL ROAD. DEALER TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO IDENTIFY CAUSE OVER 2-3 YEARS. BALANCED AND REBALANCED THE TIRES. DID HIGH SPEED TEST IN SHOP.

ROAD WAS CLEAR, NOTHING WAS STRUCK BY TIRE, OUTSIDE TEMP WAS ABOUT 73 DEGREES F. TIRE WAS SHREDDED TO BITS AND ONLY HAD ABOUT 31K MILES ON IT. PLENTY OF TREAD AND NO UNUSUAL WEAR PATTERNS. TOOK TIRE TO DEALER AND REPLACED BOTH FRONT TIRES WITH COOPERS AND NOW THERE IS NO VIBRATION IN THE FRONT COMING FROM THE TIRES. *TR
