Another idea is to shave the tires. I had a shop in Watsonville do that years ago (now out of business.) That fixed the steering wheel shimmy. The tires were BFG's. May not get the same result with more expensive tires. I think the real problem is in what Cobra#3170 is talking about.

Road force balancing requires the correct off set in the wheel then moving the tire radially on the rim to reduce the forces. Probably not going to happen in a tire shop. It cannot be done with weight because it is a tire spring rate problem.
