You need to read the entire posting before telling him what to do. Some have told him to demand new tires - he got that. Others have told him to have further balancing done - he's done that multiple times with no success.

The only thing that resolved the problem was a tire/wheel change. Like it or not, it has to be the wheels. Find another set of wheel s and tires and run them. If that does it you're done. You solved the problem with a wheel change. We can stop bashing Hancook or Yokohamas as both caused the same issue Somehow you revealed a wheel problem when you changed tires.
That's what I suggested . For whatever reason, I think that there maybe some wrong with the wheels alone .
