you need to have them balanced. they will remove the "stock" balancing weights and put the combo back on the balancing machine. ask them to use stick on weights on the inside of the rim, not like the stock ones. i recommend the Road Force balancing if they offer it.

would typical tire shops like goodyear do road force balancing or does it need to be speciality shop?

If they don't.. I am sure the shop down the street does... I highly suggest roadforce balancing to maintain the sportcar like feel of the Raptor!
