I have a ’07 denali 32k miles and have noticed the truck begins to shake around 70mph (steering wheel mostly). The back tires are at about 80% tread and front around 30-40%. Any of you have this problem or could shed some light on the issue. Do you think the tires are making the vehicle shake? I have the stock 20 in. with original tires. Also after the truck sits for the night when I hit the accelerator in the morning it “bucks” slightly for the first couple feet. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

i dont think its the tires at all. It usually has to do with the weights on the wheels. If you had your tires balanced or rotated that is common. Id have them balanced again. One weight being off throws everything off. It has happened to me.

First off if the back tires are at 80% and the front tires are at 30% someone needs to figure out how to rotate tires. Tires are way to expensive to wear them unevenly. Rotate and get them balanced. I had 55,000 miles on my oem 20's when I replaced them and they still had a little life left until the wear bars. When you say bucking in the first few feet i am guessing before it shifts into second gear?

Lost wheel weight or bent rim? Sometimes the bend on the inside so it's not as noticeable

SW CT,
steering wheel shake 90% of the time is tires that are out of balance, As tires wear they also go out of balance, a new tire with 100% tread is going to balance way different than a tire that is only at 30% tread.

It's good practice to balance as necessary every tire rotation.

Steering wheel shake its mostly the front tires. If you feel it in the seat then it's your rears. But u should get all four of them balanced.

Could it be front wheel hub wearing out? How can you check lateral hub movement?
