Ask them if the road force balanced them? I had a regular balance and it did not cure my vibration issued, but the road force balance did; special machine that I believe assumes the force/weight of the FX on the road.
 
Is it really necessary though? Are there such problems with the reg balancers?
Or maybe it's really after problem rides. I think new tires can go on well with the less tech ones, no?

GTO -- not necessary, but well worth it for hard to balance wheels.

With my new tires I got them done at a midas with a regular balancer. Slight shimmy at 60 mph, not enough to get them rebalanced.

My local shop has the Hunter and a special for $29.99 for all 4 wheels balance on the hunter. Slight shimmy is gone. The regular price I believe was $59.99 (this is just 4 wheels balanced, not to mount a tire onto a wheel).

So I don't think it's that much more expensive than a regular balancer so might as well get the best!

Wasnt me, but we do that from time to time cuz we have some that are ESL & sometimes not worded well. If something was edited, it was likely done for clarification either in the thread title or for ease of searching.
last thing . . . relax & take a pill . . or try the other FX board & see if that works for you : infinitifx.org

+1, I had my wheels balanced and I had issues, thought it was the spacers, changed them still didn't work, thought it was the rotors, changed them still the same issue, then I decided let me go and get everything balanced again but at a different shop and the technician said you need to get Road Force balanced. All I know is I don't have any vibrations now.
 
I will also try the "Road force balancing" on my next set of tires.

I found on Hunters website, you can located local shops that have their equipment.
