TPMS! 
Still pretty bad and I’m down to 32 on my gauge and 35/34 on my TPMS readout on my headunit. Chalk test seems to be kinda weird and different on all tires but I think it’s close there. I think the conclusion may just be they aren’t a good fit. Tire buyer will give me a refund but not an exchange for different tires so I guess I need to figure something out
. I guess I run contrary to all the positive FJ reviews on them. Disappointing for sure.

@Explorer4Hire Let's go simple for a second. Any chance there's a wheel that isn't properly torqued? Has it driven without the shake at all since you did it?
Didn't you just lift it? Maybe something on that end is working loose?
And......looking forward to having a day to myself tomorrow! See y'all there.

Well, this was the highly touted local place... guess I’ll try another shop maybe?
I don’t think so. rode great before tire switch. No vabration at all. And I took it back for 2 balances so I doubt they put the lugs on wrong twice. I think it is improper balance or bad tires. Who knows? Anywhere else “road force” balance around here?
this may be nit picky but they also replaced my security lugs (upon my request) but replaced them with 13/16 instead of the requested 21mm... I just checked. The wheel weights are both split on back and glued to rim inside...

Uhhhh... I can only guess what the P is. What are all those other letters for?

Oh yeah well NHSTQ. On a side note. Crash spent all day cleaning the shop, he says it's too nice for tech day and for everyone to stay home. 
You could have just told US to clean the shop. We would have put everything away wherever we felt like it.

And deal with Crash's OCD, no way
Crash has OCD?!?!?!?
Yeah. Other Car's Destroyed.
I’d like to come by sometime this morning and watch/learn. Also Onur/Beno said you guys could take a look at my shocks and tell me which hardware parts look unusable so I can order only what I need from him.
Also @Explorer4Hire, if it helps to know, Costco had to balance my new tires 3 times before the vibration went away.

What is the place you took it to? Also black electrical tape fixes TPS light warnings.
I don’t want to smear them. It’s very likely not even their fault. It could really be just the tires. I talked to a buddy on the phone last night in Washington and he said go skinny on the FJ in 255/85 and never look back. I’m headed to shop now and debating weather or not to just order the other tires and have them by next week or give these another shake.
Also there is a wire I can easily jump to give a 12V signal to eliminate light. So no worries there.
Sorry I missed you guys today... real bummer. See everyone soon. Dealing with my tire issues and knee issues and other stuff......
