Keep us posted for sure...as I will be in your shoes when I get my tires replaced.

See if you can find a tire shop with a Hunter Road Force balancer with Vibration Diagnostics, this machine should pick up if there is a problem with your rims or tires.

Have not gone in for the rebalance yet. However did a lot of research for causes and found many others with the same issue. If you have aftermarket wheels you need hub centric rings. Only problem I do not know which sizes to buy. I have a 2008 Mitsubishi Outlander XLS,* and I purchased R-FIVE Machined Black with SS Lip wheels by Lexani®. 18" x 8"

What size hub centric rings do I need?

On stock 18" wheels for the Outlander
the bolt pattern (PCD) is 114.3 mm, the centre bore is 67.1mm, the rim width is 7" and the offset is 38mm.

I have OEM 18" wheels (2010 XLS) and have the vibration. Just FYI

for the rings your best to go to a place like discount tire, or something along those lines. They stock a million sizes on the Hub rings. i paid $15 for all 4 installed on my summer wheels.

I found these http://www.tf-works.com/tf-aluminum-...67-1mm-x-73mm/ and ordered them just waiting for them to arrive and then will have them installed as well as a rebalance.

Took in for a balancing found two bent wheels, added hub centric rings and moved the bent wheels to the rear and now she rides 80% better.
