    Anyone know of any *respected* shops with the Hunter’s Road Force Balancing machine in northern Virginia near DC? Will appreciate recs. Trying to get rid of shimmy at 60 mph from new BFG KO2 265/70/17 tires on TRD PRO rims, newly installed on my 2022 TRD Sport. Thanks!

    Any America's Tire in the area?

    They are all supposed to have a Hunters machine.

    Almost every set of BFG's I had in the past were a bitch to get balanced, hope you can get yours trued out.

    I was able to find a Hunter’s Road Force balancing machine at a craftsman shop near me. They found that it was .75 oz off after two tries by the Toyota dealership.

    Is it that hard to find? Doesn’t all discount tire shops have Hunter Road force balance machines. Atleast when I ask that question at DT the answer was we only have Road Force balance machines. All 4 sets of my BFG KO2 were purchased and installed by Discount Tire. If that matters all 4 sets were installed on factory SR5 and TRD Offroad wheels.

    The nearest DT is over an hour away from NoVa/DC. Hunter sells other models of tire balancing machines, that are more cost effective for smaller tire shops. Our local Porsche and other high end dealerships have RoadForce.
