My front left was lower than the front right side . we have a 3 point leveling, and the repair was to adjust the curb side rear . I cant believe I drove the way it was , what a difference in the turns .
so my question after a 100 mile ride without balancing the tires I feel NO vibration , bounce or shimmy at all . The ride is as smooth as glass. Is this due to the tires being new, or like the Michelin man said , " we don't need to balance the tires " ??? I await the GuRu Reply's

Al,

Where did you have the new tires installed? Are you sure that they didn't balance them? Most tire places automatically assume you want them balanced.

All wheels should be balanced as the rim could be unbalanced as well as the tire. Although Centramatic balancers are an easy way to keep your tires balanced; weight balancing when installing new tires works just as well and is a lot cheaper.
