[QUOTE="Colin24, post: 1144565, member: 438"] I've had off an on problems with vibration like you have described. I cured the problem by getting the Marc Parnell Tire Balancer and balancing the wheels myself. The shops might have those fancy computer speed balance machines. But you still need someone to take the time to do it right. Its been my experience they don't take the time. In fact the first few tires I had installed after I got the balancer I still had the shop balance the tires anyways just to see what it was like. Both times I had to add an ounce or more to each wheel to actually get the tire balanced. So eventually just stopped having them balance the tires at all and just do it myself now. Every set of tires I have balanced myself since has been spot on and I have no vibration related issues whatsoever. Just my $0.02 worth. - Colin [/QUOTE]
