First world problem:
I’m having some balancing issues and it’s driving me nuts.. recently put the Carli 2.5” with a set of 37” Mickey Thomson ATs.. .. it occupies a good amount of thought in my head when something isn’t right after spending this kind of $$.. 4 failed balance attempts. Then the shop warrantied 2 rear tires. (out of round). finally it was smooth with no vibes.. 5k miles later & now that I rotated them, the vibe is back!! but it’s intermittent. Comes and goes.. @50mph sometimes It’s silky smooth.. other times it’s quite noticeable.. strange, it seems to start to shimmer and shake when the wheel is turned to the Right in a slight corner. I feel it in the steering wheel for the most part so i assume i either lost a weight or one of the front tires (newly replaced bty) wasn’t balanced correctly to begin with.. I’m pretty sure that the vibe only starts when the wheel is turned to the right and I’m traveling above 50mph.. baffled, Idk maybe a bad belt in the tire? having the shop road force balance them again on Monday. Like i said, strange vibe. Any tire experts care to chime in?
 
Throw the wheel weights away and have the shop put balance beads in the tires instead. It’s unlikely 37’s will balance or stay balanced.
Never heard of this before. Just looked it up, looks awesome. I may go that route when installing 37's.

I often balanced 37s no issue but i always static balanced no problems or rebalance needed for any of my customers dynamic just does not seem to work well past 33” tires Also nice about static balance is no need for sticky weights as it just gets hammer on in the inside lip so no way for them to fall off when playing in the mud
