I have a M35A3C and at about 40mph i get an intermittent shack in the wheel, that goes away after the truck levels out to cruise speed. Anyone have an idea about this.

Thanks, someone said it needed to be balanced. They had added lug nuts to the opposite side of the CTIS on the rim. What do you think?

there should be a plate opposite of the valves and all that on the rim.. like a big wheel weight. and my bad on the bias ply.. you have radials. A larger tire will act the same but not as bad as a bias ply. Make sure the counter weight is on the rim.
Use a product called Equal! It comes in little bags and you put it in to your tire with the bag....with your tire size you will need two per tire.
This stuff works awesome! I'm using it in everything that I run tubless tires on. It stays dynamic in your tire and makes up for variations like tread wear (even mud stuck in the rim)
I run my 445/65-22.5 Michelins on my M920A1 at almost 80mph without the slightest vibration!
Hope this helps.

Try experimenting with tire perssures, sometimes that cures it.

My A2 does this at around 32-34 mph with the 11.00-20 XL's on it. Air pressure down helped me.

That equal works really well. We use it on my Mom's Newell Coach. The coach has 22.5 rims with Michelins. It is good out past 90 mph........Not that I know personally
. That is just what I have heard.

If my CTIS is working i was worried about the equal powder. I run that in my Peterbilt with 22.5 rubber and works get, but if my CTIS purges the air i was not sure if the powder would damage the CTIS unit.

Many advices. All make somehow sence. But balance yout tires in a truck shop. thats the ultimate help. Tell them you problem and they will maintain it if they are willing to do do.
