Tire Balance Problems

[4RunnerMexico]

Have a set of 265/75r16 Michelin LTX's on OEM 16" wheels I can't seem to get balanced. They have 10,000 miles on them.

When I bought tires they were great until a week ago, had tires rebalanced at a local shop, they did a terrible job.

This morning I went to the dealer, (Ralph Hayes Toyota, I actually really like these guys) had the master tech drive it. He said "oh yeah tires need to be rebalanced". He balanced them on a Hunter roadforce using the correct Haweka adapter. They all came out perfect according to the machine, I went to the back, he showed me the balancer, went through all 4 tires, all were good.

I leave, it's better but steering wheel still shakes at 60-70mph.
I go back to the dealer, same master tech went through the entire truck, all suspension is tight, alignment is good,

He said "it shouldn't be doing this but i have no idea why..."

All he could come up with was either, driveshaft is out of balance or turn the rotors..

Any thoughts??

Now that they are properly balanced does the whole car shake or is it just the steering wheel and everything else stays relatively smooth??

Entire truck and the steering wheel seem to shake... the tech drove it and agreed with me.
Im about to swap tires and rims with my Tundra to see if the issue follows, I feel like that's my only option

Had the same issue when I first bought my 04 used about 10yrs ago. Went through ball joints, tie rods, and bushings. Still had the shaking...put new tires on and whamo..rode like new. Probably a bad belt in one of the tires!

wheel bearing

I had same issue. I'd get the shakes at around 60-70mph, get the tire balanced, same issue. Buy new tires, same issue. It wasn't until I was told I had a bad wheel bearing and had shop replace both front bearings that the shakes went away. Hope that helps and good luck.
