Problems with 235/45/R17?

Has anyone else had problems running a 235/45/R17 on their car? I have the stock size wheels and have been running a Cooper Zeon 2XS for a couple months and after balancing and re-balancing even with a Road Force balancing machine this last time I'm still getting a speed wobble around 60-65mph. I've checked the tie rods and sway bar end links and everything seems to be fine in the suspension. My thinking is its a bad batch of tires? Any other suggestions why I could be having this problem?

I recommend you take them to tire rack for balancing, I had the same problem as you but when I took it to them, they took 35 mins, just balancing my wheels, have yet to have a problem since.

Well, the tires were still under warranty so I got a set of Cooper Zeon Sports. They were installed yesterday along with the an inspection and I also had my rotors turned. It seems fine driving now or is subdued enough where I don't notice it. . .If it does comeback how could it be the axles? If they were messed up wouldn't it shake at every speed?

I'll update in a few days. . . as of now I think it was just a bad batch of tires and I don't foresee any problems.
