Tire problem

[Eclipse98Spyder]

Basically I got my wheels mounted and balanced as seen here at the bottom but they said the one tire got re shaped to an egg shape and they said SHOULD go back to its regular stare of 'round' if I keep driving it. You cant see to well in those pics from that link but I can feel it when I drive. Its like driving over rumble strips on the highway everything shakes. My wheels dont need aligned because ti drives straight as an arrow. Aside from taking them back does anyone know if it will go back to its circle shape?

No (at least not any time soon and never fully). But who cares if it will go back to it's "circle shape". If the car is vibrating from the egg shaped wheel then it's doing 2 things. Making it harder for you to drive and control the car, thus making it unsafe. And 2, the vibrations are wearing away components in your car, such as suspension. I'd say get two new tires (or just one if the other one is brand new). Cheers, Tom.

Holy crap, what the hell kind of shop let a car leave their lift in that condition? Did they eff up the mounting, or is it a bum carcass?

Either way, it must be fixed. Now.

Yeah, you dont need to "buy" a new tire, they need to replace that defective tire.

For one, whoever told your dad that it was safe is absolutely incorrect. As your tire "hops" up and down if you needed to make an emergency maneuver, it could actually affect how the car handles. Also make sure, since your AWD, your tires need to be within 2/32nds of eachother or you could potentially damage your drivetrain. I think you said they are all new but not sure. Just make sure to rotate them ever 5-6k miles. Also about your alignment, cars can be out of alignment and still drive straight down the road. Its all about the total toe and cross camber. Keep it in mind, just take it in some time and have it checked. Alot of places aren't charging to check alignments. Good Luck.
