    Does anyone know a tire shop in Southern California that offers road force balancing? I’m having problems with my new tires. Steering wheel keeps vibrating when driving on the freeway. I’ve had them balanced 3 times now with similar vibrating.

    When I worked at americas tire I know a couple of stores that had a road force balancer. Call a store and they should be able to direct you to the nearest store that has one.

    Ask them to rotate the tire 180* on the rim and rebalance

    Couple shocks, some old tires, and a bad paint job
    Whenever I had that problem with older tires and bent wheels, I would throw a bunch of airsoft bb's in there and that fixed the problem.

    I’d try glass tire balancing beads. I just threw a bag in each of my 37’s and they balanced perfectly and that’s with beadlocks wheels at that
