Unbalanced wheels?

My number one nemesis! Can be bad tires. Can be bad wheel(s). More
likely, one of your wheels is slightly out of round. Could be a flat spot
on the *inside* where you won't notice it.
2 months ago, I had an *unsolvable* balancing problem on a brand new
vehicle. Michelin LTX tires. One of the tires turned out to be bad. Even
Michelin can screw up. Problem is *proving* this. But after 6 different
balancing attempts, they began replacing tires.
If the tires are well worn already, they may not balance out properly no
matter what. I believe I am correct on this. What type and size
tires? Be interesting to see if the problem goes away with new
tires. Also, the balancing machine is a very good way to determine if you
have a wheel out of round.
Good luck
