I have what feels like a sonic vibration once I hit roughly 55 mph (sonic toothbrush feel). Almost feels like a tingle on my hands and seems like my hands will fall asleep or a slight numb feeling. I’m running 35” Ridge Grapplers and didn’t notice it with the OEM tires. It’s there about 95% of the time and will occasionally fade away then fade back in but it lasts for miles. Nothing I do steering wise will make it come or go nor does the road surface or bumps make a difference. I’ve had the tires balance twice while watching the guy balance them the last time. Any thoughts?

Same here...same tires.
It’s a little aggravating but not sure what can be done, someone mentioned to remove my under the sun grill insert and see if that changes anything but haven’t done that yet.

Any suspension work? Or just tires?

I have a similar vibration from 58-61mph -- just a slight vibration from the steering wheel, but it is cyclic -- not steady.
Like 2 seconds vibration, 2 seconds no vibration, etc.
Any ideas? I just picked up the truck Saturday...

Maybe the tires need to be broken in a bit and it will get better?

I was thinking the same but after putting miles on the new tires nothing changed ‍♂

It feels like I'm hit some sort of resonance point at that speed -- the vibration/no vibration cycle is constant. My original thoughts were that it is some sort of resonance due to the tread of the tires.... I will keep an eye on this for the next few hundred miles to see if it goes away.

I also thought about rotating the tires and see if that changes anything
