Unbalanced tire..

I am just wonder what will happen if one of the rear tire didn't get balance right, what will i feel when I am driving?? Will it be some crazy vibration on the steering wheel?? or just really tiny fish tailing?? assuming going 110KM/H.

it will casue some vibration on the steering wheel when you go on 60km/h or faster, but it depends how not balanced is your wheel though!...!!

Actually, IMHO the only way to balance any of the low profile tires is to use the Hunter GSP mounting systems. All other systems are inferior and likely to give some type of vibrations at speed. This system can actually compensate for slight imperfections in the wheels and tires .

If your steering wheel is vibrating most likely it's your front wheels, but if your steering wheel does NOT vibrate and it's your car that vibrates then it's your rear tires that are UN balanced.
