He made the point that if you have the chrome clad wheels it is imperative that the wheel be chucked from the inside to balace or the balance will be incorrect. there is several different ways to balance a wheel....most time doesn't matter but on the plastic cover if it is chucked from the outside the wheel will not be properly centered. After I had redone the shake went away....it might be that simple for some of the problems. I took mine to firestone to get the lifetime balance and rotate because I dont want to go to dealer unless i have to and everytime i need a rotation i get them balanced free for now on.
Update on this, my tires are getting to where I need to replace them, the last time I had them b/r the tech took 2 hours and told me those tire are hard to balance, told them yeah cause they were ones that sat on the lot and they didn't want to replace them when they originally replaced the one that was bad, these tires do good for about 5k miles then the wts start to get thrown b/c they are put on the inside and eventually fly off, well I have about 12k on the tires since last b/r and they are so bad at 70+, get better in straight line runs but as you put a little L or R input from the steering wheel the S/wheel and seats start bouncing, can't wait to get Michelins.
