Yep, I'm driving through Canada with intermittent internet service right now. Drove another 615 miles yesterday, the vibration/hop has been tolerable and still varies greatly depending on speed. It is worst around 55 mph/90 kph which is rough since that is the speed limit on a lot of the roads...

Yes, the tires and run flat inserts were completely clean and dry when assembled. I did not add the run flat grease/soap since I would not be driving any significant distance in the case of a flat tire.

Sorry for the delayed reply, it did get it mostly resolved (thankfully very simply!) and I've been busy putting some miles behind me for the last couple of days (in Canada now). Before swapping a front wheel for the spare, I tried changing tire pressures to see if that had any affect. I...

I was running 85 psi cold. I did not check the toe in, I don't have calipers but I could use a tape measure to at least see if it is way off. I assumed some "floatiness" was normal, these tires have a very rounded profile so only the center lugs make full contact with the pavement, that...

Ok thanks, haha maybe I just chose the wrong tires, I thought I was doing good by going with brand new ones. I'll stick with MV/Ts next time.

Thanks, that was my thought as well. On the steering topic, are all these trucks "floaty" at speed? Mine is, at speeds above 60 it can get a bit floaty feeling, I assumed it has to do with the tall flexy sidewalls.

Thanks for the suggestions, tires have 2022 date codes, the spare matches. 14.00R20s fit in the spare location, they just stick out a bit further. A mobile mechanic came and looked at it and he thought it was steering related, but wasn't able to help much beyond that. I'm more inclined to...

I'm on my way home to Alaska with my M1079 and I'm getting some severe vertical wheel hop on the front axle to the point where it is undrivable above ~40mph. I've got about 1000 miles on brand new 14.00R20 tires with balance beads in them, there was some minor wheel hop since the start but I...
