New owner, tire vibration

[BrianUSA1]

We purchased our View 24V about a year ago, it's a 2017 model that had only 3000 miles on it. After purchase, we found that at speeds above 55, the steering wheel would start to vibrate bad. A tire rotation and two balance jobs later, the vibration is now in the rear and significantly reduced - but still present.

I've read about the OEM Continental tire issues that have been discovered by some owners. What I can't find is who they worked with to narrow down the issue and replace the tire. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Since the problem moved with a tire rotation, it is definitely a tire or rim and not alignment or a bearing. What method was used to rebalance the tires? The next step should be a careful inspection of the rear tires and rims. Demounting the tires from the rim may be necessary to detect a rim or tire tread seperation issue. Careful observation of the tire/wheel during spin balancing may be helpful but most spin balancers have safty shields that prevent viewing the tire for wobble or abnormalities in circumfrance.

I had a similar problem on our prior coach when replacing the tires. Ended up being a bad tire, shop tried everything they could to get smooth and no joy, new tire and boom, smooth and comfy.

Might be worth calling the manufacturer direct and starting there since the tires came with the coach.

Had a similar problem with my 2019 Navion.
Had a local truck tire shop balance the tires about 1 month after delivery and it made no difference.
Took it to a Mercedes Dealer to have the initial alignment done and had them also check the balance.
After 2 days in the shop, they found one of the tires developed a flat spot and replaced the tire under warranty. The alignment and balancing was also covered.
They stated that this might have happened due to the chassis sitting too long, as our 2019 was on a 2018 MB chassis.
Our MB dealer was recommended by our Winnebago Dealer and they are both local to us.
