[Shotimes] Vibration Question???

[Dave Kegel]

I'd have them re-checked.  It has to be either the tires or a bent wheel.
Believe it or not, the tire monkeys often will mount and balance tires and
not detect a slightly bent wheel.

At the very least, you could swap front to back and see if it goes away.
