Default Multiple problems

Alright. I have a couple of problems I'm having that I can't figure out what to do. First off is I just got a set of 2 tires for my rear bc I had to replace a tire that had a flat spot and it was coming apart at the rim. Well, when I hit about 55 mph, I get a serious death wobble. But if I push it to 60, it pretty much stops. Ok, this one isn't really a problem, but everytime I hit like a bump or something I hear a squeaking sound. Could this be bad springs? Now for problem 3. My oil pressure gauge acts funny. It usually stays at a little more than the middle (which is 40) but sometimes it will go way lower and make the truck idle like crap. If anybody has any ideas on these it would be greatly appreciated

Check balance on tires. Ask the shop to road force balance them. That cured my problems. That's the first place I would start.

Ok. Thanks. Should I also check the alignment?

Yes. After I did my lift I got an alignment. Still had woble once I hit about 50 mph. I had ol used tires. So I got them balanced and that fixed the problem. If u are only getting vibration at certain speeds and then goes away at faster speed its more than likely its the tires.

Alright. I was thinking it was the balance. The rear tires are fine but I know the fronts need it
