2017 G550 4X4 Steering Wheel shake at 70MPH
I'm wondering if any 4X4 owner has the same issue, my steering wheels shake at 70 MPH since day one but it just getting worth.
The dealer said its normal with these kinds of tires.

Sounds like tire balancing issue. Likely front tires if steering wheel shaking.
I didn't have that problem with own tires before. Now I have off road tires and don't have that problem. Would expect more with off road tired.

Sounds like a balancing issue. If you are running aggressive off road tires be prepared for two issues; 1. Noise and 2. tires will need balancing frequently. The big aggressive off road tires need to be balanced by a competent shop that has the proper equipment. Not as simple as balancing passenger car tires. Good luck.

I'm not if the dealer has this equipment as I was told it doesn't need balance.
Thank you.

I still have the original tires but I'm thinking to get more aggressive once, not sure what to buy, it's my 1st real off-road truck.
Thank you.
Thank you.

I agree, may be a balance issue. Do you have a Discount Tire in your area? I've been using them for years, and only them as they really know their stuff. Good luck.
