Sasquatch Steering Wheel Shake

[AZsasquatch]

I have owned many vehicles, but never one with off road tires like this. Is it normal for the steering wheel to shake a little? I have about 800 miles on it and just noticed the slightest shake in the wheel on the highway.

I have 13.5k miles on my sas tires. Never had a shake. Your tires may not be properly balanced. You may have lost a balance.

It's hard to keep these balanced when they always have 10 ounces of gravel in the tread

No shake here, either.

As others have said, guarantee its a wheel/tire on one of the front corners thats out of balance. Has nothing to do with offroad tires. Got 37x13.5's on my Jeep and can run 80mph without a single twitch in the steering wheel

Thanks guys, guess I should plan a trip to a tire center

Check for gravel or stones in the tread -OR- in the wheel (rim) before having some tire guy check it out - Even my little Subaru collects rocks ...

Honestly, balancing beads are your best friend with these kind of tires. especially at highway speeds

Rotate first. See if it goes away in steering

Bring it to a dealer who has a road force balancer. One of my Goodyears is being replaced and another is bad, but not what Ford would say is "bad".
Quality control on these tires is apparently shit.
For reference, the balancer spits out a number. The Bad tire read 39 (what the tech said was at the limit), the other tires measured 18, 23 and 4. I can definitely hear the "23" tire... They should all be single digit IMHO.

I have 1700 miles on mine and picked it up about 4 weeks ago and noticed a vibration in the steering wheel as well,

Yep had vibration due to those Goodyear tires on my sasquatch. I hated it and had them road force balanced but they were so bad I replaced them with bf goodrich ko2 and it's smooth now on the highway. Night and day over the Goodyears

3000+ miles, no shaking for us

I thought mine were too when I first got it. It was just fords goofy lane assist vibration.
