always avoided that place, but needed my tires balanced and the price was right (or left). Car rode much better after rebalancing and rode even better after I changed plugs, PCVs, Fuel Filter, and installed a new knock sensor...wow what a difference in performance. Then the car started running funny....shakin', rattlin'....my teeth were ready to fall out. Cleaned the PTU, TPS, CAS, Fuel Injector harnesses. Moved the main harness around and got rid of the rattle. But the car is still shaking at any speed between 40-71 mph. While I was standing outside pondering what the heck was causing the shaking at any speed, I looked at my right front tire and said "you need to be cleaned." Then I said to his little brother following him (right rear), "so do you." Then I noticed something didn't seem right about the right front wheel, so I walked around and looked at all 4. Then looked back at the right front and thought "Why do you look different?".... "HA!! you're missing a weight!" 2 days after paying Firestorm to balance my tires, the damn thing fell off! Never assume that because you pay for balancing the weights don't fall off. This was my second experience (first was about 10 years ago), but never thought it would happen again. Good thing the tire didn't blow and flip my car, then again my tires are not Firestone.
