Jim,

On your question about tire run-out, here's an interesting clip by John 
West of University Motors. John's view is that if you have major run-out, 
the wheel will be impossible to balance. A new tire may be the best way 
forward as Randall suggested. Check your spare though - it may be better 
than the wheel that is giving you an issue.

John has many other clips on interesting topics. To view those, click 
'More from UniversityMotorltd' to the right of the screen from the above 
link, then scroll the box immediately below to reveal the link 'Show all 
75 videos'. John's work is dedicated to MGs, but many topics, such as 
wheel vibration, transfer to our Triumphs.

Here are some I have enjoyed
