In my area, Radial Tire is the cat's pajamas. They stock a huge variety of
brands and their prices match those online. Best of all, they play
classical music in the waiting room. I wish I had 10 cars that needed tires.

What the shop I went to did was put the wheel on their balancer, spin it
and hold a piece of marking chalk at the tread... The bulge marked itself
very nicely, and the balancer clearly showed the extreme out of balance.
Instantly it was very convincing. I left the marks when I took the tire set
There’s a small repair shop here on the Island I’ll take it to after I do a
front/back swap, they do tires,, owner is nice and seems to know his stuff.
Maybe they can throw it on the balancer or something and see if they can figure
out whussup.

wreck. Do not mess around with it..
If the tread comes off the tire it will
I found an article that had the name of the company called Turbo Tires or some
such that sells these lizetti tires. A link to some business website had their
phone number so I rang up the company and talked to a nice guy there. He said
they had not imported these tires for 7 years and there
Yup, sounds like a bad belt. I would swap it to the rear and see if the
noise/vibration follows. I’m guessing it will.
As I recall, the MLs use a weird tire size that’s not terribly common.

The LF tire on the ML500 started acting weird at 25mph+\- , kinda bouncing
around, but then it smoothes out at higher speeds. At first I thought something
in the steering or suspension was loose causing this. I jacked it up the other
day and there was no play in the steering, all the suspension
