Well, its not, in fact it didn't help at all. Could there be something wrong with the new tires other than balance? Any idea's?
Sometimes the only way to tell if the tire is defective is with a road force balance. I had a new set of Perrilli's were one failed the road force balance and they gave me a new one which solved the problem.
Only a few shops have the right equipment to do this.
