Smile Problem solved

Hello to all,
I started this tread some time ago. I received a lot of help and ideas. I wanted everyone to know that I finally resolved the problem this weekend. After all the issues with my tires, I still had a very bad high speed vibration in the steering wheel. I was ready to order some new rims and spend $500 to $700 on new rims for the front tires. As a last ditch effort I went to a tire store with a road force balancer. I told them I purchased the tires from another store of the same franchise and they can't get them to run smooth. They took the car right in dismounted the tires then remounted and roadforce balanced them. I was then told that they ran out great but the drivers side rear tire is not right. They can't get it balanced right because it has a high spot in it. they then ordered a new tire at no charge. They put it on today and WOW. I now have a very smooth running Box. I am a very happy camper again. I can't believe I have battled this since August. I am posting this back on here because there has to be a lessen here.

P.S. The tire store that solved my problem got 3 large pizzas delivered to them today for lunch. Cheap price to pay for great service and a fix.

Thanks again for everyone who helped.
