Truck started vibrating at highway speeds. Thought it was an issue with one of the tires needing to be balanced since it went way around 75 mph. Had tires balanced but have same issue. Guy said I need to check the safety bar on tires. But since tires have less than 30K miles this shouldn't be an issue unless the tire is defective, right?

There are a multitude of things that can cause a tire to vibrate, one of which is uneven wear due to a bad shock.

Need to have someone look at it closely to be sure you have not had a belt separate or something like that which would make the tire get out of round. If you had it balanced, I would assume that he checked that out......but you never really know.

Are they 35” or larger aggressive tires?

Road force balanced?

Could be bearing issue, or could even be suspension related.

Is truck 4wd, and is it a front tire/wheel? If you rotate the tires, you can see if the issue moves with the tire/wheel, or is something else.

Check the sidewalls for a bulge.

If you find one, gently shave it down.

This minute and 20 second video shows you how.
