Hi all,

Was having some service done at the local Porsche dealer and had it arranged so they would also mount some new Continental ExtremeContact DWSs I had shipped from TireRack.

Picked up the car after work and was disappointed to discover a vibration in the steering wheel at 65+ that didn't exist before the new tires.

One of the reasons I had the tires done at the dealer (besides scheduling convenience) is because they have the Hunter Road Force balancer which is supposed to be the best.

Going to call them tomorrow morning. Anyone here ever get a bad balance from the dealer?
