FINALLY BALANCED MY Eagle Alloy 079s!

After finding out the brand new Michelins were bad, they put on BFG L/T 265/70/R18s. It rode with a little shimmy in the front but then got worse in 1 week! They re-balanced them again (8th time) and they were off by LF- .5oz, RF-1.5oz, RR-.25oz, LR-3.35oz!!!!!!! Finally I have a smooth new truck, a little bouncy and road surface feel, but no shimmy!

It is nice to finally get a set of wheels and tires balanced and have a great ride again. If you think that 3 oz is bad you should see what it took to balance out the 35" Baja Claws that are now on my truck, I think the smallest amount was somewhere around 3.5 oz.
