    Went and had the tires road forced this morning. I hope this works, I'm tired of hanging out in tire shops all the time...

    You might have a wheel with some runout(wobble), and if thats the case, sometimes they never balance.

    After putting in my 7 years at a tire shop, sometime the 180 remount worked, sometimes it didn't and only aggrivated the problem.

    Big tall mudder tires with heavy lugs were damn near impossible to balance, just to much mass flinging around there. I usually just static balanced those with a bubble balancer and they ran fine. I could acctually balance some tires better with a bubble balancer, then I could with a spin machine of any kind.

    I think this might have worked better...I went from having 3 to 4 oz. of weights on the fronts to less than 1oz and the rears went from having over 6 to roughly 2.

    Thanks for all of your input boys!!
