Had some extra time while visiting, so I had a Discount Tire in Plano rebalance my tires. Vibration gone and trip back (other than the snow in Wichita) was great. When I was pulling the car out of DT, I asked the tech mgr if there was a tire out of balance. He said all 4 were!

Been chasing a vibration in the shark. Thought is might be worn out parts and have been parts exchanging chasing the vibration. I didn't start driving the shark a lot until I had the timing belt replaced, which was after I'd bought new tires (same Bridgestones as I bought on the CSS) from the same Discount Tire. Will be going to a different DT for a rebalance since it very well could be they didn't get them balanced correctly to begin with. Occam's razor.
