Default Tried twice no luck...

Tried twice getting the wheel balanced at commercial truck shops.....one look at the wheel/1050x16 none were interested citing various reason...... will not fit there machine...... we do not spin balance on the truck....... a few ounces will not mean much against the mass of the tire wheel combination.

Suggested moving the tired in different location and play with tire pressure snd that resolved 90 of the problems.......Shimmies now at very top speed of 44 or 45 MPH and since I find that speed dcsry the more comfortable 35 mph has no shimmy.

Even a guy in the States that had 900x16 (power wagon)shaved and claims they are now smooth as silk BUT tires had to be marked for corner location and same bolt pattern for each wheel

Considering beads now.......

What experience do others have had........

I have a new spare set of Michelin 900x16 to try out next SUmmer.

Cheers
