The Khumo tires were excessive loud, had a bounce to it, probably the bad balancing, so in the end I opted for what I knew worked which was what I should have done first instead off saving a few bucks. In the long run a few dollars doesn't mean much if you put your life on the line with inferior tires. Naturally STS sucks too! Go to the dealer or someone that actually does the high speed balancing or to a friend that you know. Make an intelligent choice from there.
That doesn't sound like a problem with Kuhmos at all. You'd have had the same problems with any tire if the wheels are out of balance.
