I recently went through a similar experience with mine, though not to the extreme of 10 ounces, mine were only requiring 4 on 1 wheel at the first tire shop and it still shook.

I took it somewhere else, and they said it was "unbalancable" and recommended i contact the seller i bought them from online. I did, and they sent me to discount tire to have them checked and road balanced before they would look into replacement.

At discount tire it took quite a bit of clocking the tire on the wheel and more than 1 spin on the road force balancer before they finally got it smooth with less than 2 ounces on the heaviest wheel and a "road force" of 22 on that one.

Sometimes it's just a bad combo of wheel and tire, and sometimes it's just a bad tire.

I will say this, I wish I would have went to discount tire at first, they took care of me when the first 2 shops didn't seem to know what they were doing. The original shop didn't even have the lug nuts all tight. It pays to deal with quality people and after this i will more than likely always use discount.

Good luck on getting it figured out.

It's hard to beat the level of service at discount. They are busy and booked up for good reasons. I've been using them since I was 16 on my first truck and 99.8 percent of the time I left very happy and well taken care of. Those .02 percent was two occasions with one employee who had some sort of attitude malfunction lol. Haven't see. Him in a while at that discount so I'd bet they sent him packing.

I have only taken it to my local Ford dealership to be balanced. I have been fighting this since I bought it new 2 years ago but it is getting exponentially worse. Someone else I know suggested road force balancing. I’m not sure if anyone near me does that here in Mississippi.
That's the problem... Using a ford dealer. :(

Looks like we have a location scheduled to go up in Byram. That should be a lot closer to you. Scheduled to open 03/25. Keep your eyes peeled!

I got a "veterans" discount, maybe they offer some others
if it’s like when I worked there, that’s the one and only. I’ve heard they’re cracking down on the homie hookup too.
