Default Re: Tire Balancing?

I'm with Jagdpanzer. Road force balance is called for, you'll have to call around. I am sure neither of your dealers did that.

With that mileage that car sat a lot, maybe on those tires. That can make them "square" but usually that works out in the first mile or two. If not it could be a shifted belt, which will balance just fine. Run your hand flat around the perimeter of all 4 tires, you might feel a bubble. Roll the car a little then do it again.

A bent rim will also balance just fine. Can you get it on a lift and spin the wheels?

A road force balance should show up either of those problems.

Good luck,
- Jeff
