Douglas Tires Vibrated Badly and Were Rebalanced Five Times

I have ran uniroyal tires on my truck for 11 years. Saw the Douglas Tires were on sale and decided to buy them. Mistake. They put them on, I left, did not get 15 miles it was bouncing so bad I had to drive 20 mph back to Wal-Mart and with only 1 original hub-cap.
The service people in the bay said they forgot to calibrate the machine. No problem except my hubcaps. They gave me 4 more at no charge. After 3 days it was shaking and vibrating again. Carried it back to Wal-Mart. Said they could find nothing wrong with the tires. I probably had a warped wheel. That didn't work either. They put 2 new Douglas Tires on, same problem. In all I had them rebalanced 5 times.
Finally gave up and carried them to a different tire store. My truck has rattles it did not have, lots of them before I had the Douglas Tires put on. Finally put the used uniroyal tires back on and could not believe the difference. I did not even have them balanced. Unfortunately all things wear out and had to put the Douglas back on. Have not been to Wal-Mart in 2 yrs. Not knowing what else to do I just drive it at about 40 mph. Am disabled, fixed income and cannot but tires every 6 months.
Someone tell please tell me what to do next.
