Here's the situation with my car:
- Steering wheel wobble at 65-70 mph.
- THREE different tire shops and $250 worth of road force balancing later, problem still the same.
- Last shop says front two tires are defective and cannot be balanced.
- Rimpro in Tewksbury inspected both wheels and cleared the wheels as true. They confirm the left front tire is defective.
- $300 for a new tire, $30 to mount/balance it later, the problem still exists.
- Car-specific forum confirms these 19" wheels and tires for my car are notoriously hard to get balanced exactly right. Here is the critical part - they all agree that only way to get it right is to get a tire shop that has a machine that can balance down to .1 Oz instead of the standard wheel balancing machine that rounds to 0.25 oz. and that the last wheel weight often needs to be cut in half (lead weights) to get it right.
Before I throw another $350 at another tire, is there a shop that you guys know of that has the time, patience and the skills to get it down to 0.1 oz? I have tried Tire Pros, Firestone and down the street gas station guy. No dice.
