Low profile tires can benefit from a Road Force Balancing, in which not every tire shop has the equipment to perform. My experience has been that traditional balancing isn't quite good enough for the low profile tires we have, leaving a tiny bit of vibrations at a certain speed.

My local Firestone and Costco don't Road Force Balancing. Chances are, the dealership just wanted to spend the least amount of make-ready...if they put on some cheapo tires on, they probably didn't RFB it...that's if the dealership even had the equipment to do so.

Rep at a Discount Tire told me all DT locations do RFB.
