What have you done about wheel balance.  Not as easy as it sounds.

If they mount the tire on the "computer wheel balancer" and spin it once,
add some weights and put the tire on your car.  They didn't balance the
wheel.  It takes more than that.   the new balancers are great but you can't
do that.  Has to do with the laws of physics.
