All the big truck tire guys should read!

I had a bad ride on my F450 with 22.5" wheels and started a thread and got a bunch of opinions but I finally took it to TAFA (Truck Axle and Frame Alignment) which usually works on commercial trucks and other big rigs and they "Trued" the tires which means they shaved them until they were perfectly round and then aligned and balanced everything on the rear wheels while on the truck with the adapters and all mounted on the axle. They aligned the front end and WOW is all I can say!! The truck rides and drives like a dream. I would suggest anyone with big tires to find someone to true them ASAP!

Thanks RBH for the great advice!!

I've seen this done at the TireRack in South Bend Indiana -- I can't speak to a "truck tire" but I know they done it for some high-priced performance tires
