Colt,
Thanks, again.
But The issue with the rim edge was about the rim, not the tire. The reason that I asked is that a Hunter GSP9700 measures run out and when it is used to measure rim run nout, the operators sometimes use unusual, weird, incorrect, etc. locations to do that.
But since the Firstone store did not have one, it's mute point.
But let me go back a step.
You said: "....and every time I've had the tires balanced the vibration was different...."
Would you expand on that? In what way was it different?
You also said: "....The Firestone manager said two of my stock rims were not true.
The bad wheels are on the back now....."
This explains why you feel the vibration in the seat of your pants. It would be interesting if you took the "bad" rims and put them in the front. If it's the tires and wheels, then the vibration should move to the steering wheel.
Thanks, again.
