Well of course they denied that they did it and said it was NTB probably. lol. There was a tapping noise coming from that same tire after I picked it up also. I told them I wasn't going to argue with them and if they could get my tires balanced and make that tapping noise go away I would be happy. I contacted American Racing and they do not have a touch up paint available for Teflon rims yet. I'm going to take it to a paint shop and have them touch it up for me. I swear, there is nothing professional in my town.

I'm still waiting for them to call me when it's ready. The noise better be fixed, it definitely wasn't there before I took it in the first time. You ever hear of this bean bag balance trick Ed? Apparently it's what the G's use on their huge rims and it's also done with RV's.

Sup Bogger! Good to see you here man . Big Green was not kidding. This is what we in Illinois call a cluster ****. I mean 100X worse than when I brought it in there and it's friggin scary to drive and embarrassing. Wobble in the steering wheel, seats...horrible. They didn't charge me and I noticed that they did touch up my wheels cause I couldn't find the scratches again. That is fair of them and I'm disappointed but not upset. I've got an appointment at the Buick dealership who have done all my mods throughout the years. They are gonna take out the bb's and put weights back on. Thank God for Berger Buick, my 4x4's are the only one's they work on and everything comes out perfect. Yet a specific tire shop can't get done what Buick will.

Hey Gerry like I said man if they can't get the tires balanced you should get a hold of Interco Tires the manufacture of Super Swamper ,the tire has to be bad.Well ma bey contact the dealer you got them from first.If they don't give you any satisfaction then go to Interco.

ask them if they know how to line it up right, i cant remember if the dot on the tire matches with the valve stem or they go opposite of each other....but a lot of shops disregaurd that the manufacturers show u how they will balance best and u have to use all kinds of weights....try to rotate the tire on the rim, then use weights

It's judgement day again, I told them about the tips BigGreen. If it doesn't balance out today then they will contact Interco and see about gettin some new rubber. I bought the tires thru this dealership.
