[Shotimes] Shaking at 70

[jared gardner]

I do have the slicers and I have moved the wheels from front to back before 
and have noticed slight differences.  I have had the tires changed during 
since I had the problem and this resulted in no change.  Is it possible to 
have a wheel tested to see if it has been bent?  I have suspected this in 
the past, but don't know how to figure it out without a seperate set of 
wheels.
