Road Force balancing

[Scruf]

Anyone have experience with road force balancing numbers?

I've got 35" Ridge Grapplers mounted on 17x8.5 Icon Rebound wheels. I've got a slight vibration at hwy speeds that I can't get rid of (tires/wheels are brand new). I've had the tire shop rebalance them twice but not much improvement.

They ran them on the road force balancer today. They said anything more than 25 lbs of road force would be considered unacceptable and would probably be felt in the vehicle. Anything less than that would be ok. The measurements are below, and though one tire is more than the others, they didn't feel like it was a concern. (didn't feel like it suggested a bad tire or wheel).

L/F - 17 lbs
R/F - 6 lbs
L/R - 9 lbs
R/R - 9 lbs

Just curious if anyone else has had their tires road force balanced and gotten the actual force force measurements?

You want that high number on the RR farthest from your seat. Also if those wheels fit directly to the hub diameter that is preferred but if they need centering rings make sure those are used. Many aftermarket wheels are made with oversize hub bores to fit more applications. Centering rings make up the difference.
