I agree. The last set of tires for my 9000 were purchased from and balanced by the tire shop. The balance them 3 or 4 times and they still vibrated. At the next service I had the dealer rebalance all four. No problem since and that was 30k miles ago. Recently we had a flat on my wife's 9-3. A different tire shop repaired and balanced the wheel. Significant vibration. Took it to the dealer and no vibration. Drove it to the Saab Owners Convention in Vero Beach FL so it got a good test. I believe the dealer has Hunter equipment.
