    The WS I just bought has a set of SAIL UN tires on it. They are brand new and the dealer said they are some China type brand. He just got them cuz they were under $300 each. Brand new, not caps.....anyways, I have only driven the truck about 200 miles and they seem ok. The problem i am having is they bounce pretty bad, but I am thinking because the truck sat on the new deep rubber all winter than maybe it got a flat spot or went out of round. Mainly between 55-60mph, and the steering wheel does not shake, just the truck bounces like you are going over a wash-out kinda.

    Anyways, just wondering if anyone has ever used or ran these brand tires. I see some M726EL in my future this winter

    I guess no one else is going to chime in here so here goes, Put about 1 cup of small pea gravel in a cheap sandwich bag (cheap thin plastic, NOT a good heavy bag), brake one bead and throw in the bag, air up and go. It's best to do each tire but I have just done the outers before with good results. Cheap tire cheap fix!

    LOL... excellent suggestion!

    Just make sure that the gravel is smooth and clean so that it has little chance of chewing up the inside of the tires.
