New rims and tires question..Help

jayk877 · 01-03-2012, 09:42 PM

just had a quick question about having tires balanced or getting an alignment. I bought used 19s with new tires on them and tpms sensors in them already...car drives pretty straight and i dont really feel a pull to either side. When im around 60 and 80 mph i feel a shakeing and then at higher speeds the shakeing gets worse. Im not sure if it needs alignment or just tires balance (i did notice a few weights on the back of the rim fell off). Thanks for the advice in advance...

Sounds like a typical balance problem. Rebalance the tires and you'll be good, just make sure you get the roadfore balance, way better than a regular balance.

You should just buy the 19's I am selling....style 225 like new with the bridgestone potenza's...won't happen with those !

Hahahah ya I doubt you would have gave me the price that I got my rims for. These are very nice rims and brand new tires so I'm sure they just need to be balanced

I'd start there and if you still get vibration issues, check the alignment, bushings, etc.
