Question Probelms With Dunlop Sport A2?

I have been having vibration problems and I have been looking at the posts concerning the steering rack. I took it to my Lexus dealer and they first balanced the tires. No vibrations. The next day they took it for a test drive and it vibrated again. They checked the tires and they were out of balance again. The dealer said that they found "excessive road force variation" that were caused by the tires (Dunlop Sport A2). They told me that I would have to replace the tires. I just purchased them during the past year. Does anyone have the same problems with Dunlop Sport A2s?

Huh? It's impossible for the tires to go out of balance overnight, unless they're slipping in the rims. Some weight has to shift around, and the only things that can shift are the tires around the rims (or the balancing weights being flung out, but that's easy to spot). Are you sure the dealer wasn't referring to your wheel alignment?
