They do road road force balancing, and I told them I would pay more for them to do it, but they didn't think it would help. I honestly think it is 2 of the tires, and I really didn't want to change brands but I have tried 2 different locations and they have re balanced them a total of 6 times now. I even dropped it off last Saturday and let them have it the whole day and it was worse then when I dropped it off. It was almost bearable with my old wheels, that they thought was the problem but now it is horrible. They said that they thought something was wrong with my Jeep because they moved the right rear tire to the front and it still felt like it was the right rear. I was getting a little wobble in the steering wheel before they did that, and then it went away, but the vibration was still in the right rear so I moved the tire that they put on the right rear to the front and the wobble came back in the steering wheel it shakes alot worse but only in the front. So now both the tires that were on the right rear are on the front.

Both sets of 35's I had 1 bad tire. 35" KM2 and Hankook MT.
Thank god for DT's tire warranty. Both tires were replaced for free. No questions asked. It's def possible you have a tire or two out of round.

Exactly! When I was there a few tries ago they were saying there was some movement in the tire, but not enough to cause a problem. When I ask them about that now, they say that tires are 100% Perfect. If that was the case I would not feel it in my steering wheel at lower speeds, I can see it moving side to side a little also. Then when he told me to have my Jeep checked out, and I said no, he was like, what are you going to do if we replace the tires and it still does it. That is what made me just say OK I need to change all 4 tires to a different brand that is known for being perfect, instead of replacing one tire at a time, and him continuing to blame it on my Jeep. When I told him my Jeep was in tip top shape, he tried to tell me there was a lot of rattling going on in the back over big bumps, I told him to go back out side, lift the carpet and he will see a storage compartment with things like, a hand winch, tow straps, and door bolts. He just kept acting like I didn't say it. Sorry I just vented lol. I would have rather stayed with my Pro-comps I really liked them.

When I bought Pro Comp rims (17x9, 7105 Xtreme), and Mickey Thompson tires (315/70/17, MTZ), one wheel wouldn't balance.
Eventually, the man suspected the rim.
Holding a screwdriver perpendicular and right next to the rotating rim, he showed me how the rim moves to & from the screwdriver tip... the brand new rim was twisted.
Got a new one under guarantee, problem solved.
