Steering wheel wobble 07 F150 4x4

I have a steering wheel vibration above 65MPH on my 07 F150 4x4. I have the 20" wheels and Pirelli tires. I have been told by several people the Pirellis have this problem.

What I am wondering is if I go plunk $800 for a new set of tires, like BFGs will that solve the problem. Or is it something with the truck and not the tires?

Did they do a static balance or spin?
Tire shop did static balance and I had vibes 60-70 mph. Had them spun and it's gone. Also check your weights....If they are stick ons sometimes they easily come off.

I have not done anything since I drove the lot off. I have 4000 miles on the truck now.

Take it back and tell em it needs spin balance cause of vibes tearing your tires up.

They offered to do a road force balance. I was told by several people on Fors-trucks.com that the Pirellis are just prone to this and the balance really wont do much.

Anyone know what I am talking about?
