You're missing the point. It's not how they balance up, but how much the tyres may or may not deform and go out of round under load at speed. The only way to eliminate that is to try another set. Came across this donkeys ago on a Nissan Maxima.

This is serious donkey, but why don’t I get the shake from lower speed till I hit 80 plus, it is very odd to me

Ahem

The use of the word "Donkeys" does not refer to the problem but to how long ago DD came across the problem.

The full expression is "Donkeys Years" meaning a long time - shortened to "Donkeys" (to confuse the Yanks)

It could also come from Cockney Rhyming Slang "Donkeys Ears" = Years

An exceptionally long period of time. The phrase likely originated as rhyming slang, where "ears" rhymes with "years" and alludes to the length of a donkey's ears. Throughout time, it became more popularized as "donkey's years." I haven't seen Jim in donkey's ears!

Cheers

Dave
