What these guys are saying about rush job tire mounts is true. Really it doesn't take any extra time to mount them right using plenty of tire lube and visually checking to make sure everything looks seated right. It's a pain and I hate mounting tires but I started doing my own several months ago and might be coincidence but my steers this last time didn't need any weights for the first time in I can't remember how long. Most tires have a line that runs around the sidewall it's about a 1/4" away from the rim. Visually look at that all the way around and it should be evenly spaced from the rim.

I took the weights off of the passenger wheel, and it helped a little bit. The shaking is not quite so intense, and it comes and goes now. I actually get some smooth driving at some points
. I talked to the manager of a shop I was referred to for tire work and he suggested trying new brake drums. He said if that doesn't fix the problem they will true the tires and spin balance them. What do you guys think of replacing the brake drums as a next step? I figure it won't be as expensive as tires and it won't hurt to replace them anyway. He said it is important that I get Gunite Machine balanced drums. Part no. 3721 AX. What do you guys think?
