Yes, yes, yes. I've had trouble balancing these buggers. Had them Road-Force balanced by a local outfit that claims to do lots of race tire balancing, and the car shakes like crazy at, guess where, 65 mph! (It also shakes at 35 mph until the flat spots are gone.) The problem may well be that the rear tires are out-of-round. My plan is to get the balance and roundness checked by another tire dealer and if a tire is out of round, I'll get it shaved to try and true it. Then re-balance. Any other ideas on how to deal with this?
Thanks,
Jerry
