Good reason to go to the dealer

MARSHALLMAY · 02-27-2007, 01:36 PM

no other place i've been has these.

mt_goat · 02-27-2007, 01:45 PM

Wow, so that's what one of those things looks like.

seanz0rz · 02-27-2007, 01:50 PM

yea, seriously...

i think buying new wheels is easier than trying to find one of those fancy gizmos

MARSHALLMAY · 02-27-2007, 01:53 PM

when i bought new tires at discount tire, I left there, drove down the access road and noticed a vibration, u-turned, went back and had them re-balance. I repeated that 3 times before I gave up and went to the dealer.

Yes, I know. I was being facetious.

SC4Runner · 02-27-2007, 05:20 PM

Balancing is usually about $8 each at the dealer.

***Corey*** · 02-28-2007, 03:07 AM

I do not even know what the FJ has on it, but when I got new tires, Les Schwab just did the regular tire balancing, and the muds ride as smooth as the stock tires did.

tampabayota · 02-28-2007, 03:14 AM

traben27 · 02-28-2007, 04:06 AM

You should not have to ask them to use it. They should know!
