Weird Wobble
 
Wanted to see if anyone else experiences a weird wobble when driving their 8 first thing in the morning.

The wobble is tied to speed, and seems directly related to wheel speed as it doesn't occur with revs.

It is almost as if the tires are flat spotting overnight. After about 15 minutes of driving, the wobble disappears and the drive is wonderful. There is no power, suspension, or performance issues. The tire pressure is good and tires only have about 3K on them.

Is it possible that the Khumo's are developing a flat spot overnight?

Yes, it's possible. Are you checking pressures both cold and warm? If not, do that.

What pressures do you have them at? Try increasing it by ~5psi and see what heppens the next morning.

Definitely sounds like a tire issue.

All four tires are at 36 psi.

I had a set of khumos that vibrated really bad, I just assumed they were shitty tires. I'd really like to know more if you find out anything
