Ditto what Speed Racer said.

The shop that installed my shop had the same equipment and even after rebalancing the wheels twice there was still vibration. They sad that all my tires may have been out of round and the machine could not compensate for it.

Again thanks to Speed for showing me the light! I brought the instructions that Speed sent me and they (the dealer service dept.) followed them and it is as smooth as glass now.

P.S. On a side note. On Tire Racks survey I screwed up and rated these tires badly because of the vibration before I got the skinny on the balancing issue. I wish I could go back and right that wrong.

Have you tried contacting those wonderful folks at TireRack? I'm sure they could help you fix this.
