Greetings,

Not new to the board, just can't find log-in info anymore. On to my question, I bought 265/65/17 Bridgestone dueler H/T's about 1 year ago, I've had to ballance them about 6 times now, and still my fillings are being rattled out of my teeth. Does anyone know how I can fix this or at least determine what is going on with these tires...I should have known better than to buy cheap tires.

did you (or anyone else) EVER put ANYTHING into the tires, other then air/co2? Like the liquid Fix-a-flat.. or ANYTHING else?
I had a tire I "fixed", and it wouldn't balance afterwards.. had to drain & scrub all the green stuff out before it would balance.

You also might want to check out your U-joints. I had the same problem and the tire place kept telling me it was my tires but I found that I had a worn U-joint. Just my $.02 good luck

Thanks for the advice...never put anything into the tire, shake started as soon as I had tires installed, I have had three different places ballance the tires, all seemed to agree they where out of ballance...all was smooth for about 100-200 miles and then same issue again. Could changing tires affect u-joints...asking beacuse problem was never evident with old tires. I googled my tires and this seems to be an issue with these tires...any recomendations of new tires? Michelin's seem expensive but do receive high praise.

Tires could be out of round in which case they will never balance unless they were shaved where needed. Just take them back where you bought them.
