Call around your area and find a *small* shop with a balancing machine that's less than a year old. )Look for someone with "engineering" or "motorsport" in their name). Have them put the wheels on a balancer and check them for trueness first... then rebalance any that need it. You could also have a tire out of round. They can check that at the same time. As the balance tech once told me: " You can balance an egg - it'll still ride like an egg". You need someone with the equipment and talent to determine if the wheels and tires are true. Avoid large shops like "NTB". Their equipment gets so much use that the balancing they do is usually only 75% accurate (Speaking from recent, personal experience). bob
