Get on the net and look up balancing. The company that does road force machines lists all the tire shops that use their machines by zip code.

Road force balance.

Not a gimmick. Machine can load wheel up to 1400 lbs. Lets operator check how tire performs under load. Having mine done as soon as Tire Rack delivers them.

so i had this done and i am pretty sure my wheels and tires are not properly balanced. 3 of the wheels have a lot of weights added to them and the wheels are brand new. from 60mph and up i get a periodic pulsing thing going on. it will ride smooth but then every 3 seconds it will fade in and then fade out and so on...any ideas?

thanks

phillip
