I didn't get a printout (did not know I could get one, so I didn't ask), but they said each was about a half ounce off. They also said that the wheels and tires were fine (according to the machine, I guess, but I know they didn't remount the tires so I'm skeptical. I assume this means they weren't out of round?).
I don't think I've given the complete rundown of what I've done since the rotation:
1. Rotation and balance. Noticed vibration. Mileage: 40,000
2. Rebalance at DT. They said 2 of the tires were off. Still vibrating. Mileage: 40,400
3. Another rebalance at DT. All 4 were out. Still vibrating. Mileage: 40,700
4. Alignment at Firestone. Car was out of alignment, and this fixed other issues (wandering at speed, "loose" rear end). Mileage: 40,900
5. Road Force balance at Firestone. Vibration less at first, now back to the same as before within 300 miles. Mileage: 41,200.
I'm at about 41,800 miles now and it feels basically the same as right after the rotation was done.
I'm currently assuming that I might have a bent wheel or else a belt shift in the tires, but I'm not sure. I will check for a bent wheel tonight but from what I've read I won't be able to see an internal tire problem.
As you can probably guess, I don't really want to spend any more money on these tires, and I'm getting tired of chasing what seems to be ghosts.
