Thanks! Yep, made it just under the wire!

WOW! What a difference!!! I guess there is something to this phenomenon of balancing wheels and tires. I posted some pics of the difference in placement of wheel weights, but I didn't mention that one of them was more than 4oz out. That doesn't sound like a lot but I guess it is when it comes to balancing a tire. The tire tech said he is curious if they were ever really balanced. I drove the old truck to work this morning, took it up to 75 mph and it was surprisingly smooth. There is a little "roughness" but I think that is just what happens when you try and push a brick through the wind at 75 mph, overall it is a marked improvemnet in ride. The front brakes are a little "grabby" just as the truck comes to a stop, but that seems to be getting better the more times I use them. Any way Burning Up the Beaches starts today, I'll try and take some pics and post them up each night.
