Tire Update, back to Kuhmos

[farmtruc]

Ok, i got my dunlops sport rovers installed today, 275/60 15's during lunch and when i took off, i could tell immediately that the rear was whacked!!

The back was vibrating bad at 60mph, but cleared out around 70+. So after work i went back and got them rebalanced and they said the pass. rear was out of round.
btw, i always get the road matched balance, not just that cheap ass balancer they use.

So, they are going to order me another tire and replace it free, obviously.
On the way home i noticed the rear was vibrating even more and now the steering wheel vibrates what a mess!!!

so i emailed the guy that hooks me up at discount tire and asked if i could just have my farm tires back and order the kuhmos again. He said keep the dunlops on until the kuhnos get here. I thought that was pretty awesome of him. BTW, his name is cody and he works at discount tire , 210-490-1253.


so, there you go, like i said, if i don't have bad luck, i have no luck at all,


later,

allen

Damn, that sux. What's the differnce b/w the road balanced and the cheap balance?

[farmtruc]

the road balance simulates the road kind of with a big roller placed on the tire, it also detects bent rims, and recommends you turn the tire 180deg on the rim if it's too far out of balance.

once the tire is match to the rim, (weight equally displaced), it's then balanced.
