    tire balancing help!!

    i need to get my TPMS tire pressure sensors put on my wheels. i have 18" chrome foose wheels with nitto 555. also my steering wheel shakes about 50-55 mph and would like to get them road force variation balanced also. them are some tire stores around me but they won't do it cause i did not buy tires and wheels from them. i have them variation balanced before but they told me that the tire had to be rotated on the wheel and they would not do it. NEED HELP!!!!

    if you get them road force balanced its going to be a lot. IMO not worth it. you have to go through a lot of hassel to do it too. break down the tire and put it back on and so on.. a regular balance will only balance to about 55-60 mph. road force will show you where to mount the tire on the hard/soft spots on the tire to the rim. its hard to get them perfect. if it were me with aftermarket wheels id be happy with no vibrations before 55 mph. vibrations can also be brakes and driveshaft too
