And there you have it. I'm surprised that an outfit like TireRack would do such a crappy job at balancing tires.

Yeh the tire guy was like wtf...........One rear wheel has so much extra weight on it. the screen ont he right said like 2.7 or 3.7 and the left was like .75

the front left was also off but not as much as rear.

rides like a dream now

they probably trusted machines to much?

NEVER take for granted that they are correct from the shop

so true

a while back I had taken my S in to have new tires mounted....when I left and was driving my S kept feeling like it was not planted very well especially upon acceleration...I pulled over to check them and they were filled to 48 psi
