Potenza balancing problems....help????
These stock tires are garbage and I should just dump them, but the price tag on the Michelins is just out of reach at the moment. I have been to three places (ntb twice + firestone) trying to get rid of a vibration that starts right around 65. I called the nissan dealer who said to bring it to a bridgestone dealer for tire warranty service. The firestone/bridgestone service center said the tires are balanced and are fine. I don't think I ever hit anything that would have warped a wheel. I imagine I'd remember hitting anything that hard. Is it possible that the tires have just worn unevenly and the dealer doesn't want to replace them. Has anyone ever gotten tire warranty service? Its going back to the bridgestone dealer tomorrow.
I suppose the kids could go shoeless for a while in favor of dad's new tires.

Find a tire store that has a Hunter GSP9700 tire balancing system. Actually, Hunter calls it a "vehicle vibration control" system.
This machine will let them track down the source of the vibration and help them to compensate for it if it is a bad tire or wheel... or just a combination of the two.
Check out the site, it explains how the system works and how they should use it. I think they even have a locator for a tire store or service center near you that is so equipped.
