So I got new BFGs replaced under warranty. I don't think I ever noticed a vibration/shaking in the steering wheel over 80 mph before but now I do.
Before I had the tires replaced I had only had the truck for less than a week.
Is this normal to have some vibration/shaking in the wheel with new tires likes these or should I have the dealer rebalance them?

thanks

Yes, rebalance. It is possible to get bad tires and you may need to push them to admit this. Happened to me on an older F-150.
Good luck and hope it turns out well for you.

Rebalance them. Ask the dealer if they have a balancer that measures road force. If so have them check the road force when doing the balance. The road force test will find a bad tire if that's the case.
