Sears still refuses to replace my tires.

This matter is not closed. I have taken my vehicle to three different shops. One of which has done 1000.00 dollars worth of work on my vehicle to fix a rear axile bearing problem that was caused by the bad tires Sears sold me. If necessar I will get a letter from all three shops stating the tires are the problem.

You state you bought the tires from sears. You don't state if you also bought an alignment at the same time. It's not gonna do a whole lot of good to rebalance the tires every couple of weeks if they are out of alignment. IF you did pay for an alignment at the same time you bought the tires, THAT work should be covered under the warranty. If anything else needs to be done, you need to pay. I wonder how many people go in to get new tires and decline the alignment after being told they need one. I sure wouldn't go to sears for that work.

You can post your vibration question there. Maybe Click & Clack (Tom & Ray) will respond. Or call Tom & Ray during their Sat 10 AM NPR 'cartalk' call-in show.

A tire CAN be out of round but usually the resulting vibration can NEVER be balanced out. A belt seperation or misorientation can cause interesting problems as the tire deteriorates in use, but this would be unusual (not impossible) in a new tire. Overinflated tires will suffer tread bruises while underinflated tires will suffer sidewall bruises/pinches. But one month is a very short time unless you are very hard on your tires, i.e. screech them in turns or sudden starts/stops, drive fast thru potholes, etc.

A bent or slightly wobbling wheel (curb 'rubs' cause wobbling wheels) can also cause a recurring vibration problem that can be temporarily balanced, but any out-of-round or wobbling problems, either with a wheel or a tire tread, should be obvious on the balancing machine.

Who made those tires for Sears? Sears sells Michelin, Goodyear, Goodrich (I think), etc. Maybe you should contact the tire manufacturer for guidance. Personally, I only use Michelin and Goodyear tires.
