I had to get rid of the BFGs I had on the 1st Gen after they were only about half worn down due to similar issues. Handled horribly, wouldn't stay balanced, yada, yada. I think they have some serious quality control issues with those tires.

My tires did it when they were new. Give the sidewalls time to stiffen up.

BFG's are junk and are the single largest source of DW on these trucks.

Get rid of them and get a decent tire that will hold the weight, balance, etc.
