Hi all,
My 2020 JLU Sport S still has the stock tires (I can't remember the exact specs - they are just the plain road tires) and on certain freeway surface patterns - notably ones where the "grain" runs perpendicular to the vehicle - I assume to resist hydroplaning - the Jeep gets what I can only describe as a body shimmy. Light light turbulence in an aircraft. Not like it being pushed by the wind but the whole body kind of shimmies left to right and vice versa. I don't mind it that much; I figure when I put a different tire with a different tread on the Jeep it won't happen (possibly) but curious about it. If anyone lives in Houston where I am it's I10 and 290.

Thanks!!

Maybe just need to get the tires balanced. When was the last time you got them re-balanced?
