    I just installed a new set of wheels and tires on my 2022 TRD Sport last Friday. Truck has 1700 miles in it. First time I drove it in the highway over 65 was Saturday. There is a slight shimmy at over 65. Wheels are Method MR316, tires are Conti TerrainContact AT in 265/70/17. I got the set from Tire Rack. I have read that 4runners are susceptible to shimmy. I can assume that, Tire Rack, does road force balancing on their wheels/tires before shipping them out. What other steps can I try looking at?

    Flange plate adapter on Road Force Balancer with smart weight system turned off. Drive right into the shop when the tires are warm and have them complete the balance.

    These appear to be lug centric wheels at 106.25, our hubs are 106.1

    I ran into this with Chinese aftermarket wheels that I had and once I went back to hub centric wheels it smoothed out.

    If the hub was a little bigger you could put in centric rings...
