MG TD TF 1500 - balancing tires on car

does anyone know where i might be able to get tires balanced on the car? i live in Delaware.
still have a vibration around 25 mph. might be just the wheels are bent some or out of round but wanted to try balancing on the car.

Thanks

Are the tires new ??
Steve Wincze

No. Been on the car a little while but certainly not worn.

TL, try Garden Spot Frame & Alignment. They can balance on the car and they're one of the VERY rare places that can also "true" the tires on the car. "Truing" is shaving the tires to make them perfectly round. You may not need that - they can tell you - but they can certainly balance on the car.

A good friend of mine was there a few months back with his Triumph Vitesse and they did a great job for him. Give them a call before you drive all the way out there, though.

Switch left for right and see if it makes a difference. It worked on my MGB.
