Default jeep vibrations

i posted last week about the vibrations that are coming from my jeep. ive had it aligned and balanced and i looked at the tread and would it be possible that the tread is just wearing down and the tread is getting harder? theyre 35 inch toyo open country tires.

Without having read your previous thread...how many miles are on the tires, how often do you rotate them and does the vibration occur at a specific speed?

I think you may have just answered you own question. Maybe the tires were not good from the start, they did not rotate them, or drove with a bad alignment......so the vibration could be scalloping due to their miss use.......

i just did a little reading and i saw that some people started having vibrations around 15,000 miles. theyre great tires in the snow. i live up in PA and we got about a foot snow last week and i had to drive home from work and they did well. i guess ill look into buying some new tires.
