It's the noise and vibration
Had them balanced 6 times in 3 weeks before they are almost better. Just can't get rid of that slight vibration and noise. This was after a front end alignment and new brakes. But they still won't balance out correctly. Don't care what anyone says continental tires general grabber are not good. Also should mention the dealer replaced the first set when I bought the truck new as in it only had 13 miles on it. The original tires did the exact same thing.

I own a 2001 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD with the Duramax turbo diesel, bought it new and I have 270,000 miles on my truck now. These General Tires are the Absolute Best tires I have ever put on my truck. I own a small construction company and tow a 34 ft 5th wheel Nuwa Trailer that weights 12,500 lbs dry. These tires with about 30,000 miles on them still look great and have a lot of thread left. They ride quiet and very smooth at 75 mph. What else can we ask for, GREAT Tires

Wonderful simple transaction. Two tires installed on the rear wheels of a F250 Ford and driven from Central Florida to Pennsylvania - good ride and handling even on wet roads with a 1800lb. boat towed behind. Same tires now on front and rear make a good combination.
