Vibration after tire rotation?

Vibration after tire rotation?
I rotated my tires(31-10.5 Bridgestone Dueler AT's) by what the manual calls for which is: left front to right rear,right front to left rear, and back tires straight to the front. On the freeway there was a slight vibration after rotating them, mainly feels like the front tires. It will probably stop after the tires get used to their new positions though. Anyone else have a vibration after rotation their tires?

Another possibilty - if you ran them very long, they adopt different wear patterns. The rears always tend to be worn more in the center and the fronts more along the edges. After swapping, it's very common to hear them and feel them - that's the new load bearing surfaces wearing extra fast until they get sort of 'evened out' again. Rotating more often makes them last longer, but rotating them chronicly late (me guitly!) wears them out faster...

I agree with balance. I've had mine done several times until they got it right. Something about lug centric and hub centric....blah blah..

I was told the opposite. Perhaps on a truck you might feel it more due ot the lighter rear, but normally you feel it less in the rear because the rear is not connected to the steering wheel.

I spend too much money on these big tires to let them get falked up by a lazy tech.

One thing that really makes me mad is when you are having brand new tires put on and if one of the tires looks out of round they stick it on the rear hoping you'll be 5000 miles away before you rotate and find out you got a lemon tire. So I rotate brand new tires front to back too. I always just rotate front to back, but if I start getting more wear on the outside, I am considering flipping them over and having the white lettering put on the inside. I am getting kind of tired of the white letters showing anyway.
