Badsquatch, 12k miles, tires once rotated here.
I was noticing a bit of increasing steering wheel vibration at faster highway speeds so I took my Bronco into Les Schwab for a quick tire balance, hoping it would solve the problem.
Holy heck. My Bronco has NEVER driven this smoothly - at ANY speed! Knowing what I know now, I should have taken my Bronco to get its tires balanced on day one. The tire technician told me it was 8 ounces (!!) off balance. Yeah, I go hooning on trails just like everybody else, but geez.
TLDR: Even if you have no apparent reason to, consider getting your tires balanced. You don’t know how smooth the highway ride can really be.
