What balancing method are they using, a conventional wheel balancer, or a road force balancer??? A road force wheel balancer is the most accurate method of balancing wheels/tires. A roller applies pressure to the tire as it spins to simulate vehicle weight.

My dodge dealer is using a conventional spin balance machine. wheels are Brazen, tirers are Roaddian HP 305/45R22.. get an awful shimmy at high speed between 55 to 65 can't go any higher afraid the wheel shakes to much. Tirers balanced 3 times by different places. need someone to help. beautiful truck and very disappointed with everything. do you know anyone in florida that has this road force balancer.

If you are vibrating at one speed, you may have an out-of-round tire(s).

I want to thank all of you who have helped fix this problem. Unfortunately my dealer was of no help his technicians did not know what they were doing and made the problem worse and all I got from the dealer was i will take your rims and tires and sell you 4 used rims and tires for $1400.00 oh what a deal. Can you guess what my reply was. So found a local shop that delt in custom tires and wheels and in 1 hour they had the problem resloved can you believe wheel balance. YOU would think a dealer could balance a tire.. so that shows you one thing if you have a custom rim and tire go to a specialist who deals in the produce. Dodge shame on you.
