Noticed a slight highway oscillation noise on the very first drive of my new Squatched 2 door. Ride was very smooth at freeways speeds, however.
After 10k km, there is some vibration and the oscillation noise is MAYBE a little louder. Going into the dealer to be looked at (will I get the "we couldn't replicate the sound" feedback?)
I expect a certain amount of road noise, but not a Wub-Wub sound like the tire is defective.
Hard to pinpoint which tire exactly...

Did a search, but I can't be the only one??

Our 4 door SAS is smooth as silk at all speeds, like how does this thing drive this nice and smooth on 35's, nice. Odd that it wouldn't get worse with speed...

Is it on the same roads? My jeep tires would make a lot more noise and vibrate slightly on certain roads.

Some roads more than others...
Pretty obvious that some roads would be noisier, but also make the out of round sound louder...? That I don't get. Lol

If they do say that they cannot duplicate request someone to ride along with you and take them down the road. Could have a broken belt in the tire. It happens. Does it pull to one side or the other? Do you feel the vibration in the wheel or the whole car? Usually if you have a vibration relating to a wheel and you canā€™t feel it in the steering wheel itā€™s a rear tire. When I picked my last superduty up I got in the freeway way and felt it right away but not in the wheel. The truck didnā€™t do it on the test drive. I had them swap out the wheels and tires and a rear was not balanced correctly.

Doesn't pull... The steering wheel is where I feel the vibration but I'm pretty sure it's not the front tires. I don't even think I can hear the fronts!
It's likely shaking the whole truck and I'm just noticing it in the steering (when I take my hands off, it's vibrating)

I have vibration in steering wheel and seats on my 1st edition Bronco with the SAS and Goodyear tires on highway. Had them rebalanced and its still there. Dealer obviously didnt do road force on them but I know for sure from experience that they are out of round and need to be replaced. However I am dumping the goodyear tires next week and replacing them with BF goodrich KO2 tires.

I think most dealers aren't able to do road force testing... But I'd push the matter. Get some new Goodyears to sell before upgrading!

You rotate and rebalance the tires yet? On the knobbies I like to rotate every 3k or you get the whomp whomp vibrations.

10,000km....no rotation. It was whomp whomping on day 1.
I will rotate them soon, after the dealer inspects them.

This might be a dumb question but never hurts to ask the obvious... Any difference with windows closed or open? Iā€™ve had a few vehicles where if I cracked the window just right it would create a reverb that would drive me nuts.

I've only recently had the windows open... Nah, that ain't it. But I know what you're talking about.
