We have a Class 6 truck, and have been getting a wobble right at +/- 65 in the front end. We don't drive on the highway too much so it's not that big a deal, but it can be annoying when making that occasional longer trip.
We had asked our mechanic (at the dealer) about it and they said they can balance it for 65 but then it may shake at 50, which is where we far more often drive it, so we decided not to.
We just had to have the front brakes replaced, so since we had the tires off we had them take a closer look. Turns out there was "balancing sand" in them (their description - I didn't see it). Obviously it didn't do much good...
I have always had good luck with Michelins, starting with the XZXs on my very first car (too bad they replaced them with the ZXs - there was no comparison), a 1972 Beetle. I will seriously consider getting Michelins for the front when these are due for replacement; and that won't be too long the way they are wearing...
EDIT: obviously my mind is failing faster than my tires. The "good" tire was the ZX, the replacement was the XZX.
