Have a similar issue with a 2010 Ralliart Sportbak. 2nd set of tires and i have had the wheels balanced 6x over 20k miles. Each time after a couple weeks they are out of balance again and i get steering wheel shake between 65 and 75 mph. Sometimes topping off the tire pressure helps but only for a week or two. Two dealers now have told me the car is fine. I've heard several excuses from dealers and tire shops: "must have thrown a weight", "last place didn't balance it right", etc. Any idea what is causing this?! Thanks.

My guess is take it to a good shop that does good work on balancing and not rush you out without them checking it 2x. Lastly, if you have blow or worn suspension this can cause an issue also. It may be possible to have a messed up tire or rim. Lastly Lastly, is check the alignment to see nothing is out of whack. Just saying.
