Topic starter

Ok so this is the second question that i have in here and it pains me to even ask this but i recently baught after market ryms for my 2000 chevy s10 2 door blazer with a zr2 kit 4wd automatic transmission, i have no weel spacers becuse they cause damage but i fitted the tires to the ryms myself and dont have a ballencer, i had an older mecanic say that used tires really dont cause that much issues without being ballenced but i was always taught to ballence tires even used ones because of safely and comfort driveing, i followed his recomendation and drove it at a very low speed back and forth to work and i am starting to regret my decision because now it shakes in the front end but everything is solid and now i wont drive it until i know FOR A FACT wether or not i am right in my decision or im just full of crap and need to get over my self and everything is just fine 

Thank you!

I'm not sure what mechanic would tell you just slapping tires, especially used ones, on some rims and then just sending it is a good idea, but they are wrong.

You want to get them road forced balanced ASAP. Balancing is extremely important.

You also want to make sure they anint no mismatched ones.. different brands can cause uneven wear way quicker in some cases much less not even mentioning that different sizes can fit on the same rim...
