hi, i have an 05 hino 338 box truck with a 2500lb hydralic lift gate.. when i first got this truck, it rode like a cadilac! now about 8k miles into it, there is a disturbing bounce and seems to be getting worse…. I donot want to cup my tires.. they are like new goodyears and they did ride smooth..
Could be a number of things. I suggest you have the truck and tires inspected at a reputable tire dealer in your area. I could be as simple as correction weights coming off the wheels. Or, it could be more complicated. Difficult to speculate without being able to see and drive the truck.Could be a number of things.

Curiosity
Posted by Debbie from Plano, TX, US on October 8, 2009
Why “the competition” does not offer 295/75R22.5 or 285/75R24.5? Why do they only do 275/80R 22.5 and 24.5? What are the advantages? HELP!!!
As a US based company, our tires meet the standards of the US based Tire and Rim Association (T&RA). Tire companies based in Europe make tires to meet the standards of the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization (ETRTO). In some cases, they have come up with size designations that are different for tires of similar dimensions. This is the case here.
rotating drive tires on over the road trucks
Posted by bryan from carlisle, SC, US on October 6, 2009
Is there any proven advantage to rotating the drive axle tires on an over the road truck. I’m trying to implement a rotation program in my fleet and the techs are pushing back. I hate to see 4 new tires put on the rear axle and the front drives are at 1/2 tread. I would much rather rotate an x pattern when the tires reach a 3/32 to 4/32 difference to wear all drive tires out at the same time
The rearward drive axle tires on a tandem drive axle truck tend to wear faster than the foreward axle tires (as you mention). This is because, in a turn, the truck tends to pivot on the foreward axle and the rearward axle tires are dragged across the pavement. So, to get to your question, rotation of tires on the axles is a good thing to even out wear so that all the tires can be replaced at the same time. My suggested rotation policy is this: rotate from foreward to rearward axle (and visa versa) and reverse the direction of rotation (right rear tires go to left front, for example).
