Well I just had the new front tires I'd posted about checked. One of the tires appeared to be bad. It was out of round like a clown bike wheel. However dismounting and remounting the tire seemed to cure the problem. Apparently the tire had indeed shifted on the rim and was no longer concentric. Even a novice would have noticed it so when the first place mounted and balanced the tire it couldn't have been like that. (and it would have shaken the tire machine)

The other tire was also off balance but not by a lot. They only changed one weight. I should have looked more closely at the machine they used today but it looked very similar to the one shown in the previous post.

I'm going to run Sebring this weekend. I'm headed out to the garage now to put the wheels back on the car and I'm going to mark all of them. I'll post up my findings next week.
