I ask that question of the current tire store. He said it is very unlikley that the INDY that mounted the first set of tires (Hankooks) could make the wheel out of round when mounting. If they dropped a rim hard enough it could maybe cause a light (dent) in the wheel but you would probably see where it was dropped.

Does anyone have any experience as to whether a tire mounting system has the ability, with poor mechanic, to actually cause a low spot on a rim when mounting?

I went by the INDY today to tell him I found out what the problem was and he didn't seem real interested in helping me solve my problem anymore. Probably thinks I crazy after chassing ghosts for 3 months, but I know what I know, it still vibrates in the steering wheel at high speeds.

Thanks again.
