I had 5 Firestone 5.25 x 17 tires with less than 1500 miles on balanced spoke rims. It was almost unbearable to drive in excess of 40mph as the front fenders were bouncing like crazy. The tires were very much out of round. I took the mounted tires to Green Mountain, Iowa where John Worden has his restoration shop. After John did his magic on the tires, I removed all the weights, and took a test drive this afternoon. What a difference! I can now drive at highway speeds with no problem. The shop John has is capable of any type of restoration anyone could need and the workmanship by John and Steve is top of the line. A great place to stop if anywhere near in central Iowa.
