Default Tire Vibration

Hey guys whats happening, just a quick question. I'm having a wobble/throbbing sound emanating from one of my tires.

Essentially I changed my tires from winters to summers and when i drove off from the dealer i experienced heavy vibrations from the front left passenger side. When i went back they swapped the tires from front left to rear left and vice versa. So now what's happening is the throbbing is in the back side now. They said they didnt have time to investigate the matter further, "come another day"

So the problem has isolated itself to the tire or the rim itself. Im not experiencing any form of pull from the tires and im not experiencing vibrations in the steering wheel.

Can anyone help me isolate the problem? I can't stand taking my car to the dealer. Nothing but bad experiences.

Nothing worse than a throbbing in the back side.

If it's been narrowed down to the tire/rim then there are two main choices. Either the it needs to be rebalanced or the tire has developed a flat spot from sitting over the winter.

Just take it to an actual tire shop, not the dealer, and they will be able to figure it out quickly and take care of it.
