I'm experiencing the same issues. Did anyone ever find a solution? I've had my wheels balanced twice now, but at 55mph I get the dreaded wobble. Its even worse towing... not a nice experience at all!? Think I should play with the PSI of my tyres?

I've got the same problem with BFG AT's. Wheel wobble at 65-70mph. Been balanced twice by different tyre fitters but not cured the vibration. I have a spare set of wheels with Nokian tyres and these are completely steady, no vibration (don't look as nice though!)

Can anybody recommend a good 4x4 tyre centre in Staffs or Bham area?

I ended up going to Silverline Wheels in Warwick who were really helpful. They managed to balance them pretty well and then we selected the best balanced for the front and others for the rear.

I'm still on the original set nearly 5 years on with 50k miles on them! 2008 Defender 110 XS SW - M57N2 / 6HP28X

I had some 16" ko2's fitted to my frestyle alloys not that long ago and they had so many weights on but the set of original bfg at's didn't have anywhere near as many. Recently got the tyres swapped onto new sawtooths and got wheel wobble at 60. Looking at the weights there was loads on again so I imagine it's tyres. Took them back to be re balanced and they seem ok now.

Or you could put some Dynabeads in and stop the weights damaging alloys. They work dynamically too Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧
