I just purchased a base model '97 4x4 Dakota. It came with those little
P215/75R15 Goodyear Invicta tires, with 15x6 rims. I decided to get some
larger tires, going with Chaparral LT235/75R15 (which do not have an
aggressive tread pattern). I have noticed more vibration with
the larger tires. I understand that the transition from passanger to
light truck tires will change the feel, but how much should LT tires
change smoothness of the ride? [The ruffness appears to greatest at
speeds above 50 mph and when decelerating.] Any ideas on what could be
causing increased vibration? This is essentially my first truck so I am
unfamiliar with what would be considered normal vibration by any long time
truck driver.
