That probably wasn't it then. It can be vibration free within 1mm. I would bet that the tires aren't balanced properly.

heres the thing and im not sure how your wheels are balanced but i know that everything we balance at work is atleast staticly balanced within .10, front to back. Where you see alot of issues is with sticky weights, if they arent put on a really nice clean surface alot of times with snow and dirt and what not they will fall off and if your alignment is way off then your tires will go out of balance alot quicker. I had an x5 come in to work that needed rebalancing after 20000 km and all together between all 4 wheels face and back they were out 16.5 ounces. Not sure if its an issue where you are (i didnt look at where your from) the biggest reason people bring their car in for rebalancing is cause they're too stupid to wash the snow out of their rims and it builds up and throws them out big time. So from your friendly tire professional, wash your rims out befor you bring your car in for rebalance.
