I didn't get the warranty for the tires when I order it from whalentire.com, so I won't be able to get a new tire for free from them. Is there a way to get it fix or should I just order a new tire?

What is road force?

If the tire is defective and cannot be balanced, then it should be replaced under the tire manufacturer's warranty.

With the Hunter GSP9700 (http://209.176.154.132/) a printed record of the tire and wheel defects may be created that may then be used to support the return.

Unless the road force level is extreme, it should be possible to correct the vibration by using the GSP9700 properly.

I bought it from whalentire.com. Is it possible to return it to the tire manufacturer? Because since I bought it through whalentire.com, I have to go through them for an replacement. But I didn't buy the warranty for the tires, so I can't get a new one from whalentires.
