I would have the tires checked. Hopefully its just that and not a bent rim. My truck suffered with this, I had a set of Expedition XL wheels on it and we never could get the wheels and tires to balance out 100% and now that I have 22" wheels on it, same thing. I have taken it to every tire shop I can think of and they all say the same thing.
