Have the Nitto 420s in a 305 30r26 and have had to take them back for balancing 3 times now. Hub rings installed on the rims, KMC Slides. They are saying the rims are too big to be road force balanced properly but we are gonna try it out tomorrow anyway. Right now there is still a slight but noticeable vibration above 55-60 mph.

Is there any tire better than the 420s that will fit?

Thanks fellas.

Yeah my Tahoe has a noticeable, but minor wiggly at higher speeds too with the 305/30/26. The tires are all balanced but I guess that the way it is. Road Force balancing does help, and so does spinning the tire 180 degrees on the rim to try and balance it.
And no your wheel are no to big to be Road Forced, even Discount tire can do it over in Dallas.
Its not the Nittos either, I have Sunnys and was not gonna dish out all the money for Nittos or Hankooks for tires that basically last/perform the same. Just don't ever get the Kumhos or Wanlis and you are good to go.

Thanks Modded. Took it to a better equipped shop and got it taken care of. No more vibrations!
