Question Tire Rack or MB Dealer

Hi MB owners,

I have a quick question, I have a slight shimmy in my car when driving above 40 mph. Which is better to go to MB dealer or Tire Rack for tire balancing? any suggestions, ideas?

Thank you

Any place with a Hunter Road Force and an operator who knows how to use it. Many of the dealers have the GSP9700. Just be sure the guy knows what he/she is doing and place the weights inside the rim. Also check and look at the weights they use. Lead is no longer allowed in most States and some of the zinc and steel weights are ugly. Perfect Equipment sells the RUC Mercedes polymer adhesive weights that look decent (small and with beveled edges.) http://yourtireshopsupply.com/produc...0gram-snruc050

btw, the torque for the lug nuts is 96 foot lbs.
