It seems from what i've read so far swapping sides will only change the direction of the pull- Sorry to post this on the disco board but i thought i would get more response from you guys -thanks fb   Leslie N.

However, I'd talk to the dealer from whom you bought it; they may work with you, perhaps replace the tires for you instead of you having to foot the bill, or, maybe split the bill at least.... Good luck! -L   frank berry (Spencer) New Member Username: Spencer Post Number: 10 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 10:52 am:    I'm in the middle of that now - thanks for the info this helps me a great deal- fb   Eugene (Eugene) New Member Username: Eugene Post Number: 4 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 11:07 am:    Try and locate a tire shop that has a Hunter GSP9700 wheel balancer. It might do the trick without having to purchase new tires. (Then again, if the dealer agrees to replace the tires...) http://128.242.141.111/pub/search/findgsp9700.cfm -Eugene   frank berry (Spencer) New Member Username: Spencer Post Number: 11 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 11:52 am:    Thanks eugene -doesn't look like the dealer is going to be much help so i'll check on this option - taking too much time dealing with this problem! thanks again fb
