Had to use 4 1/2 OZ. of weight on one wheel. Then the next 3 balances did not last 50 miles each time. The Sears store that I purchased them from did not have a load balancer, and that may have been part of the problem. From what I suspect now, make sure that your tires are load balanced, to get rid of the shake in the steering wheel. Please chime in if you have any knowledge of load balancing. I will try out the tire that is coming on the AWD 300C. It's a Mich. 235/50/18, I think. Anyway's I want to make sure that everyone knows I made another modification mistake. Also, BF Goodrich would have worked out the problems, but I did not have time to work with them. I had super grip and feel with the G-Force. I did not try to power brake them to check the traction. Traction on wet pavement was great.................... Dixie

I've had the BFG gForce KDWS tires on my 300C for about 3,000 miles and had no problems with vibration or shimmy. You probably just got a bad set.
