Sounds as if its still out of balance. Check the tire for bulges, bubbles. If you find any, time for a new tire.

Well, actually take it back to the place that balanced the tires last and have them re-balance the tire.

At the same time have them check out the tire for bulges.

Note that your patched tire has its speed rating voided, so take it easy.


Does anyone know if there is anything special required when balancing the tire/rim???
To make long story short, I had a nail in the left rear which was pulled out only after the tire guyS took 15 minutes or so to bust the tire off the rim. I hadn't seen a tire so mis-comformed/contorted during this process. Anyhow, there balanced job was no good. I took it another store that I trust and they fixed the problem, but I have slight vibration above 65-70MPH.
So if there is something special with balancing, please advise. Of course the tire store could have goofed up the tire ever so slightly and I need a new left rear tire. Ouch.
Thanks
