Advice Please

I took off my run flats and put nromal tyres on about 2 weeks ago.

The problem I have is at about 50 miles per hour, I get a vibration thro the car which gets worse the faster you go. The wheels are the same and they got balanced etc when the tyres got put on.

I have also had the car back to get the 2 front tyres balanced again and this hasn't helped

Could the tracking be out? don't know how this has happened as I have changed wheels many times before and it hasn't put the tracking out and I havent hit any pot holes recently..

any thoughts welcome. :)

Craig did this problem start after you hit your front wheel off the kerb

if vibration is felt through car ,in general it is the rear tyre,s at fault.if through steering wheel it,s the front,s.have you had rear checked ??and have you changed rear,s to front and noticed any difference .

[Craig]

good call William, I only got the fronts checked. I will get the rears balanced again.

did u get this fixed craig??

[Craig]

yes and no.

put my 18's on and the problem went away, so I know the problem is with those tyres and wheels, so it is something to fix before the winter. think I will just get all the wheels balanced. :)

good good

One other point - when you had the wheels/tyres re-balanced, was it at the same tyre-fitters?

Try somewhere else and see if it makes a difference.
