So many of us get an annoying vibration at highway speeds. 99% of the time it's the balancing of your front wheels. Ever since I rotated my tires I've had a slight vibration at 75 - 80 MPH. So today on the way home from the gym I stopped at my tire and wheel guy.
Here's what they were off by.
Drivers side:
Outside .75 oz
Inside 0.00
Passenger side:
Outside .5 oz
Inside .5 oz
$16 bucks later my A2's are as smooth as glass at any speed!

Yep, as the tires wear the balance gets off. I am at about the half way point on my tread life and I get a slight vibration at highway speeds, will get them rebalanced next oil change.

50$ is rape.
mom and pop tire shops charge 5-10$ per wheel for balance.

how about this. I put on my summer stuff, and just last week I had everything balanced because I had lots of vibration. So the wheels are still vibrating. I am trying to get another appointment (it had better be free this time) for this weekend. Feh. We'll see. I'm afraid I'm going to get carpal tunnel from the vibrations!

Tom, you back on H&R's yet?

I'm very tempted to throw Tokico's in the front (if I drop it) so I get a smoother ride with the H&R springs. But I'm
as to what to do this summer. My 17" tires are like 70% used and their pretty harsh now on the road, don't want to put them back on. So that would mean tires+Toks. Plus were looking around for a new house this year so $$$ is tight. Have to set my priorities ya know. We just put rubber on the BMW, that was a pretty penny. I think Max may take a back seat on performance this year and just be my cruiser.

NEVER GO TO MAVIS to get your **** balanced...especially for aluminum wheels. They put static weights, not magnetic. just a word of caution.
