Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Wheels & Tires Rims Maybe

I have a set 18" Masitaly rims on my SVT and ever since I had them rotated the damn things vibrate the wheel. I have had them Balanced twice, the first time it was worse! Now they vary, I will be driving down the freeway and have slight vibrations then have nothing. Could it be my Tires since they are 215 35 18 Nitto NT450's?
Thanks

Did you ever figure this out????

I have the same on and off vibration problem as well. Please let me know.

I finally ahd to break down and buy some new tires (the Nittos were showing Belt) I guess they balanced the rims out because now with my Kumho 225 40 18 they dont vibrate at all! So it had to have been a rim balance or Tire balance issue. I'd go and get my rims balanced if I were you!
GOOD LUCK

you're problem was most likely corrected by the purchase of the tires.there really is no way to balance a rim,the entire wheel/tire is balanced as an assembly.
