[Shotimes] Vibration Question???

[Ron Porter]

Nitto NT460s?? I would definitely get them rebalanced!!

Don Mallinson my chime in here, but his '91 Plus that Ryan Dudek and I drove
back from the SHO Shop to Don's house had the NT460s. They were horribly out
of balance. When Don had them rebalanced, I recall that at least one of them
required an inordinate amount of weight to get it right.

Nitto makes some decent tires, but those 460s seem to be "jobber" tires that
they sell to round out the bottom of their line. After putting a few
thousand miles on them in the Plus, my comment was that they do an
outstanding job of keeping the rims off the pavement!!
