[Chrysler300] Coker 235 75R14 tires & tires in general

[Lindsey Fuller <yesdnil@xxxxxxx>]

  After finally getting my E on the road a couple of weeks ago, we 
determined that 3 out of the 5 tires had problems. All were supposedly 
dynamically balanced & Coker was prepared to replace them with American 
Classics as they no longer produce their own. The Coker fellow enquired 
about the tire & rim run out. I was told the worst of the tires was out 
of round by almost an inch, another approximately 1/2", which of course 
would account for the poor performance. The installer/ balancer could 
not provide the run out info, so after some checking around I took the 3 
to the most highly recommended shop. Results were 1 rim had a flat spot 
(not visible) and the other 2 tires were able to be balanced properly by 
repositioning the tires on the rims, and with lower balance weights. So 
now I have 2 that are "very good" and 1 that is "good", the latter will 
be the spare. Lesson I learned that may be of use to others is that not 
all balancing is equal.
