The vibration I get is not minor. It feels like riding over the rumple strips on the edge of roads. It's very annoying when riding at 25 mph through my neighborhood or around town. By the way, mine also does it on the way back down from 30-22mph. So it does it both ways.
You should not unless something is truly defective with the tire (or rim). Any tire shop worth it's salt should know how to mount and balance. Your tires should have a colored dot marked on them close to the rim. Sometimes several dots. Make sure that aligns with your valve stem. It marks the lightest point in the tire's balance. (You can google that if you're curious what the colors mean.) If they did that and it still has vibration, have them break the bead and rotate the tire on the rim about 45 degrees and retry the balance. All stuff they should have done first time around. My 37's are smooth as butter with zero vibration and that should be the norm. They should not have any vibration with them.
I am getting the EXACT SAME EXPERIENCE.
Is it the same stretch of road? I've noticed that on 37s I'm much more likely to notice vibrations on certain stretches of road but it disappears on others. I've also noticed it more as the sidewalls get stiffer as it just doesn't absorb the same small vibrations as p metrics
no it doesn't really matter. Its like clockwork. anytime I git 25ish to 35ish its vibrating. I can hear it and feel it through the wheel. It can't be normal.
They replaced one of mine today. I think they may need to do two also. I still have a vibration but its not near as bad as before. I isolated it mostly with using my spare. The RR was the main culprit. The road force on the original tire was 28, the new one was 14. so something was definitely wrong with it.
Not in my experience. I went through similar trials and tribulations, although not with Discount Tire. I had my 35s re-balanced twice before I threw beads in as a "last ditch" effort. I don't think the beads made it worse but they certainly didn't help. Ultimately, the beads will need to be vacuumed out of the tires in order to balance them with weights again. Balancing beads just add complexity without solving the problem. After trying balancing beads I can't recommend them but you'll also find plenty of positive stories online about them so YMMV.
They are doing great. It's not a DT issue, its a Nitto issue.
Tire beads suck, especially at lower speeds. The tires go in and out of balance every time you start and stop.
