Got my tires re-balanced the other day, but they also put my wheel/tire on the "Road Force balancing machine". That thing was slick. They were able to find any heavy spopts on not only the rim and the tire. They moved the tire around on the rim to the perfect location.
The thing drives like a dream now. I have virtually no vibration at any speed including highways speeds! It is must do if a tire dealer has one.

Did you do a 5-tire rotation and the spare could be the unbalanced one? Been there, done that.

I did do a 5 tire rotation and i think it ended up on the rear. Once they used the Road Force machine life was good!
