New Tire Vibrations

[Jack Daniels]

Had my 205/50 BFG Traction T/A's put on last week. Initial observation is that they look & feel good. Took a long drive yesterday to go skiing and I've got a bad vibration at about 65mph. Back to Costco today to get the tires rebalanced. :mad:

You should get a better car that does not gave tire vibrations. just kidding, inside joke.

There is nothing more upsetting than new tires that are unbalanced. When Wheelmax sent me my rims and tires, they were so offbalance, I had to take them to a real shop and have then redone. All were off a lot. I feel your pain. Make sure they are dynamically balanced. Wheelmax only static balanced mine, thus the problem. The difference between the two, I have no idea. I just know that dynamic balancing was needing on my car. Wheelmax did credit me for rebalancing, as they have a policy on this (because their monkeys just stick on random weights, I think).

Took it back and problem solved. They must have just gotten sloppy on one of the tires.

I need to get mine redone, the ppl that did mine (if some of you may recall, the same guys that forgot to tighten 5 lug nuts on my car, 2 of which fell out before I caught the problem....) f-ed mine up too...it starts shaking around 70...meaning that they're only slightly off, but still. I think dynamically balancing is where they put it on the machine that spins the wheel and tells em where to put weights and static is just putting the tire on some sort of pivot, and getting it to balance on the center, if that makes any sense...

I think that's what the diff is at least...
