Tacoma wheel vibration problems

I have a Toyota Tacoma 4WD and since day one I can not get the vibration out of the wheels. I have taken it to the dealer and other tire shops and still have the same problem. The dealer is puzzled and the tire shops I've been to say they get Tacomas and 4-runners all the time with the same problem. The steering wheel shakes and so do both seats!!!! I'm at the point where I can't take it anymore, any suggestions? I'm running the stock aluminum wheels with Michelin LTX M/S, 31X10.5. Any help would be great. Thanks.

This has been covered many many times here. Do a search on vibration. The problem is that most shops are clueless they try to balance your wheels like they would any other wheel. Yota truck wheels are nut hub centered though, they are lug centered.
Special adapter (Haweka?) must be used in order to balance these wheels right.
It would also be nice if the shop had Hunter GSP9700

Good luck!
