    I agree, historically if you are not Titus it normally turns out just fine!

    Billy,

    If you aren't getting them balanced on the road force machine you won't get a very good balance on them.

    Costs extra to get 'em balanced on that machine but it took care of my shimmy problems...

    My 2 cents:
    I bought a set of those Toyo's just over a year ago and I like them a lot for daily driver use. No balance issues, ride is great, wet grip is great and dry grip has also been surprisingly good.
    You (Billy) mentioned locking lug nuts in another thread. When I bought my car it had the OE locking nuts still sealed in the original packaging. Should've left them there. I got a shimmy-shimmy-shake when I put them on... and it went away when I took them off. Your vibrations may vary.

    I am trying that facy machine tomorrow morning.
    Its funny it didnt do the shimmy before and I was using the same lugs (locking) as before.

    I have an extra set of lugs I guess I could try that, sure would hate to have non-locking lugs on the car though.
