I need to borrow someone's tires in Northern VA!

Weird request I know, but like the title says I need to borrow someone's tires/wheels for a little bit. I am located in Northern VA. The reason I need to swap tires/wheels for 30 minutes or so is to check if my tires are the cause of my vibration or not. So basically I just need to install a good, balanced set of tires, take the truck out on the highway, and from there I should be able to tell if my tires need replaced or not. This will probably take less than an hour total. Or even better yet, if someone has a set of stock tires laying around I can borrow for an hour or so, that is even easier. Let me know if you or someone you know has what I'm looking for. A many thanks to any who can help me out!!

FWIW- Many tire shops will check balance for free.

I don't think it is balance. I have 8oz of Dynabeads in each tire. But if I can't find anyone with tires to borrow I guess I can try.

You can get ahold of Testraub over on the TDR. I know he has a set of stockers that he doesn't use in the winter. He's in Arlington, right off 66.

why don't you just put the truck up on jackstands and take the tires off ...

run it up to vibe speed see if the vibe goes away ...

you can do it in 2wd then 4wd if you still have the vibe and it would let you know if its front or rear drivetrain ... assuming it's not the tires

Ive NEVER heard of it being a good idea to bring a vehicle up to any speed on jackstands....

Maybe a quick roll/stop(removing the rear drums trick on 2gens), but as far as bringing it up to 50-60mph on jackstands, youre asking for trouble....
