Hi. I've changed to a new set of tires. 195/55/15. Previously using Hankook. Now i'm using Maxxis Ma-Z1. my problem is... after changing tyre, i felt vibration when speeding from 110 kmh and above. I've done on wheel balancing, still doesn't help. My rims are ok. Any idea what may cause the problem? doh.gif

p/s: my previous tyre didn't have this problem at all, especially when i've done on wheel balancing.

with car lifted, try to move/shake the tire, see if there are any loose/abnormal movements

if this is still fine, try swapping rims with the tires. (either among your own rim, or try out with other rims, see if got spares/shop can borrow or something)

will do that, maybe tomorrow and hopefully get better result hmm.gif

When the tyre is on the balancing machine, do take note if there are movements in the tyre/wheel when it is spinning.

Also check if there is abnormal corrosion or dirt on the mounting surface between the wheel and the brake discs, preventing the wheel from being mounted properly.

Check your suspension components for play and also your driveshafts.

I had a case of vibration that is due to the driveshaft being bent.

If all fails, ask the shop to change the tyre.

looks like i have to change driveshaft first to find out if there is still a problem. damn this is so annoying. thanks guys

do confirm if your drive shaft are actually damaged/unbalance (eg: use another set of wheels, rims and/or tires)

don't just simply change

noted that. must check with my pomen first before change to new drive shaft
