[Shotimes] Shimmy

[Paul Nimz]

I had some Kumho Ecstas that would not balance until I did a "George" to
them in the driveway.  Must have spent $100 in balancing and replaced two
tires under warranty.  I even took it to a place that balances them on the
car and they said they couldn't do it to them because they shook too bad.
One afternoon with a jack and a box of weights and all is well.
