lol at all the balancing types...I believe that balancing a tire is standard procedure when mounting a new tire, a normal tire balance not these ridiculous types you guys are talking about. Who here has ever asked for any of those balance types by the way. Theres no reason anyone should have to walk in and say they need "this" or "that" type of balance...on a daily driven, street legal, under 300 hp atw, like the 370 is.

Obviously the dealership that did the work needs to take a look at the tires, the mounting job, and speak to the mechanic who did the sh*tty job. Dealership garages pride themselves on doing the best work at way overpriced rates.

I've actually heard places offer "high speed" vs standard balancing so there is some truth to the balancing options but at the end of the day it's all ludicrous. She should be able to drive highway speeds on "low cost jerk-@ff" balancing without the wheels shaking.

Yes they were idiots and over torqued my lugnuts, good call, they spun the rotors and roadforced balanced, problem is gone now.
