discount tire does have the road force balancing but you have to ask for it (cost a lot more).

It works great - has fixed vibration problems on BMW's of mine before..

Umm Google? Basically "presses" against the tire with another "roller" to simulate the force of the road, vs just spinning it. Had a new set of tires "traditionally" balanced and had big vibration issues. Got it road force balanced and were able to eliminate them. Worth anything exra if vibrations an issue, can also ensure rim is true, provide a report if you need to return a rim etc.

I recommend road force balancing. I had it done at Discount Tire with the Hunter machine and afterward it literally felt like I was driving on a pocket of air. It was great.

I used to work at a custom wheel and tire shop and I can tell you that Road Force Balancing is well worth finding. It not only helps balance the wheel with weights but can also detect when a tire needs to be rotated to match a specific location on the wheel. We had several customers from other shops complain about vibration and we were able to help a majority of them just by using this machine.
