Thanks all for the advise. I have a few shops to call on Monday.
In response to some of the discussion on this post-
Yes I know about road force balancing that's what the selling dealer keeps wanting to do over and over. And I've taken to 2 shops. I ordered a tire and rim package that was mounted and balanced and supposed to be bolt on ready but not so as it turns out
You can balance a square tire but if it's not round it won't roll smooth.
I'm sure they are centered on hubs.
I have 2 that are out round I checked them myself.
Tire truing may or may not void warranty but after you drive 20 miles on them no one would ever be able to tell. At this point the selling dealer and manufacturer isn't to interested in fixing and who's to say I won't get 2 more out of round. I'm tire of sitting in a tire shop and still not right when I'm working 70+hrs week
19.5 and larger tires are notorious for being out of round due to the thicker tread.
I live in Florida and there are a number of shops that still true tires around me. It used to be very popular with rv'ers and semi's. Unfortunately I am in Indiana working and haven't been able to locate anyone to true around here. We were looking forward to taking the long way home after we finish in late January but may have just live with it and take the short route.
Thanks
