If everything checks out OK, and your still stumped, then go find a wheel shop with a Hunter 9700 tire/wheel balancer. These are pretty new to the scene and are very expensive. Usually only the better dealerships have them. In my case I had my old tires rebalanced and actually saw the guy doing it and the read outs look fine. But when I got on the road, I had a vibration from 40 to 60 and then it almost went away. An old buddy has a shop with this new Hunter machine in it. He mounts the front left wheel/tire on the machine, it does a "Road Force Balance" test, and the tire/wheel is out by 21 pounds. The machine actually tells him to rotate the tire on the rim a certain amount of degrees, we rebalance the wheel/tire and now it is PERFECT........... The first tire shop did not know how to fix it and had never heard of road force balance. I have been told that the car factories do it this way. I think that Hunter actually some info on it's web site that explains what this Road force balance is.............good luck and let us know how you fix it. Doug.H
