When recently buying a set of four Michelin Defender's for my truck, owned =
since new and never wrecked or damaged, etc., there was a balancing issue w=
ith the new Michelin Defender's. The usual weights were not achieving the v=
ibration free use the prior, worn down but smooth driving BFG tires had dem=
onstrated.


Tireman of Maumee, Ohio (zero affiliation on my part except as a customer),=
 where I buy tires, the salesman said the wheel may be the culprit for my v=
ibration complaint on the brand new Michelin Defender's that had just been =
installed and had been balanced but were vibrating enough at normal express=
way speed limits of 55-65 mph, I could feel it in the steering wheel and it=
 was really annoying.


I returned in less than 8 miles. The Tireman salesman said Tireman had a ba=
lancing option referred to as "Force Balancing" wherein they don't use the =
usual weight's. For "Force Balancing" they use a different machine and move=
 the tire around the rim a very small amount several times until they find =
the perfect balancing location of tire to wheel. This worked for me and an =
hour later the truck is now as vibration free and smooth driving as it was =
when new.

I have Vredesteins on the TR3, excellent handling.  Also, Firestone has thi=

As for rubbing with wider tires, someone else needs to comment, I have run =
165 width on 6=94 minilites with great results, more rubber on the ground a=

Anyone have any experience with the Nexen tire (SB802)? There are very few
tire stores around here that can still mount a tire on a wire wheel and the
only tire they seem to be able to get in a 165/80-15 is the Nexen. If I go
with a wider tire, will I have a problem with rubbing and will the steering
be even harder?
