    I wish mine would fix that easily. Maybe after I get it looked at tomorrow it'll be good to go. Fingers crossed!

    The tire shop shop sounds suspect, if they made it worse.

    Years ago, I got some aftermarket wheels for the wife's WRX. That turned out to be an ordeal. When all was said, and done, I had been to 5 different tire shops, before I found one that knew what they were doing, and even then, I got to the point where I asked them if I could go back in the shop, and watch them. They agreed, and it was me who pointed out to the tech, that even with the naked eye, you could see that the wheel itself (the rim) was out of round, and he agreed. I contacted the wheel manufacturer, and they sent out a new one. Problem solved. 5 shops could not see something I noticed in 5 seconds. In the process of getting an education on tire balancing, I learned of a process that probably nobody does called "Match Balancing". On most tires, there are red, and yellow spots to indicate the light, and heavy spots on the tires. The tech is supposed to line up the light spot on the tire, with the valve stem to gain an ideal balance.

    I went back today and the road forced balanced them again. It made it a lot better but still get some vibration in seats at highway speeds. I guess ill just deal with it because i dont know what else to do.
