Front End Vibration SOLVED!!

[Randy Bishop]

Thanks for all the suggestions!! Turns out the tire was out of round! I
had it replaced as it had less than 1000 miles on it. I actually could see it see
see it looking across the tread while it was on the balance machine &
rotating. Replaced the tire & all is well.

This is one tire out of four I purchased. What could cause this condition
in a nearly new tire?

Thanks
Randy

From previous discussions, this was probably caused by
someone using their left foot on the brakes! - )

CAN be a manufactured defect also.

Sounds to me like the guy who balanced it threw some extra weights on it to
make it appear as if it was balanced. When that many weights get put on the
odds of them coming off again are higher showing the tire is out of balance.
They are supposed to reject tires that require a large weight offset for
balancing. I would go elsewhere to have your tires done in the future.
