Tire balancing woes

I bought my 15 AC as a CPO from the dealer and it came with new tires. The tires are Lemans SUV A/S 265/70r16 and they had a shimmy since I bought the truck. I had Discount Tire balance them for free (had to push them to do it, I've been a long time customer) and they still weren't quite right. I've had Costco balance them 3 times now and anything over 70 I can still feel it.
Truck is completely stock. The guys at Costco said the Toyota wheels are a pain to balance and that their machine doesn't always center the wheel properly. Has anyone else had troubles balancing their OR wheels?

 

Try getting a road force balance done... some that have troubles have had better results with it.

 

Some of the hunter balancers have a special cone for tacomas. Find a shop that has one.

 

make sure your tire looks good, if they look out of round or have internal tread separation you will never get it balanced.

 

At this point, you need to find a Hunter road force balancing machine. It will check for wheel and tire runout. Chances are, you have a bad tire. Your other option is to move one wheel from the front to the back and see if it helps. If you can isolate which wheel/tire is causing the vibration (assuming they are all properly balanced), then it will be cheaper for your to fix it.

With the stock Toyota hub-centric wheels, they normally balance up pretty well.

 

I'll have to shop around for road force prices, I vaguely remember it being somewhere in the $125 range last time I shopped around, I'd hate to spend that much on balancing crappy street tires when I could put that towards some real meats.

Costco mentioned they had "a" balancing cone but it wouldn't fit the right way so they had to flip it onto the front side, probably why this go around isn't so great either. I might ask for a refund and call a shop that can do Toyota wheels on a normal spin balancer.

I'm tempted to go to the stealership but they didn't seem to get it right when they first installed these either

 

Are you sure they installed the tires or didn't just sublet it out to a crappy tire place to do the install? Like I said, if you can move the tires around to isolate the problem wheel, then it would be cheaper just to address the problem one, versus all of them. My local America's Tire has a road force machine. I think they charged $25 per wheel to balance using that machine.

I'm surprised they installed non-stock tires on a CPO. I'd bitch about that given all the problems you've had, since the factory spec tire is not a Lemans. lol

 

Knowing Right Toyota they probably took the cheapest route lol, I'll try to hit them up to see if they'll throw me a tire balance because of all of the issues I've had

 

I'm in the same boat brother. Cpo with 4 new Oem Bridgestone duelers. I was getting vibration between 55-65mph. Found a place to do road force and it turns out that one of the tires is bad. They were able to adjust the tire on the rim to get the road force down a lot but it still vibrates and the mechanic suggested that I replace the one tire. I said screw it and I'm just replacing all of them with a set of the Falken wildpeak at3's.
