After 3 trips to the shop we just cant seem to get the new Method/Nitto tires and wheels balanced properly. Its fine in city driving but any highway use we get a vibration above 65mph. The shop who specializes in off road vehicles and lifts that we have been using for 10 years told us after the 3rd time trying that its the wheels because they have the high end balancing equipment for larger truck tires and its showing all is good on there end. I have not tried calling Method directly about the issue yet because im not sure how to single out the culprit. We have had quite a few issues with them sending us the wrong lug nut sizes and wrong center bore rings due to the size change from last gens. They finally sent us the right sizes but its been a headache.
Any suggestions on how to deal with this issue?

Looks like the problem is fixed. It was the installer. Apparently he has a lousy wheel guy and the machine they use was subpar. I found a guy with the latest Hunter system and he showed me all the weights he had to take off from the previous shop. Truck is smooth on hwy now.

Yes and his balance machine was a $45k investment vs the 8K machine the other company was using
