Hi,

The tires are the original equipment Goodyear's with 60k miles, still in
good shape. I don't get a vibration from the back at all. It now rides like
a new truck I was wondering if tire pressure would cause an issue. Truck is
all wheel drive and I think front calls for more air than the back. .
