Out of round . . . Help
The figures are copy/paste right out of the factory service manual.
Most runout numbers are measured at the tire tread. The figures posted are at the wheel, which are closer to the center. Therefore the numbers will be smaller than most people are used to seeing.
It tells the mechanic to remove the tire, and mount the wheel on a dynamic balance machine to measure wheel radial runout, and lateral runout.

I agree.. and I can't help but wonder if they were snugged down to the hubs incorrectly. (IE, not securing the lug nuts in a star pattern).
Was the JK in question wheeled hard?? Or do the wheels have some bad curb rash?

Good year told me they could only balance one tire perfectly the other tires where taking over 17 oz to balance them , they said the rims were not bent , the problem is the tires are "cupping"

No way to fix to my knowledge, also bad wheel bearings could cause cupping but it is doubtful in you're case all the wheel bearings would be bad. most likely they were not balance correctly from the beginning.
