I don't know JM, maybe Rick likes you, and this is his wait of courting?

I posted the same thing as you, before you did, and he never acknoledged my post.

I drove my car for 7000 miles with "unbalanced" Goodyears and never had one problem, other than the resulting vibrations. That's not to say that driving with unbalanced wheels is the best thing to do in the world, but then again, neither is Goodyeat selling crappy out of round wheels.

I've had my car up to 140mph with those wheels, and not once in 7000 miles did I ever feel the balance issue was putting my driver control, or safety at risk.

Vibrations result from frequency. Frequency only happens at certain times. Unbalanced wheels will only vibrate at two points.... the first mph caused by the unbalance, and then again at twice that speed. Obviously most people won't hit that double frequency number. Rick makes it sound like if you drive around with unbalanced wheels, the car is going to shake the entire time you drive it and be dangerous. That statement is untrue and rediculous.
