I just had some new tires put on my 03 X-type and I am getting some vibration in the front end when I get passed 65mph. When I am below this speed you do not feel a thing.

I had the tire shop recheck the balance weights and verify they were still in tact and they confirmed this wasn't the issue. From my past experience, usually balancing the tires fixes the problem, but not this time.

Any other pointers on what I can look for to determine what the deal is here?

Thanks!!!

 

Did you get an alignment? Any bent wheels?

 

Find a tire store that will perform "ROAD FORCE BALANCING"...This is different and more involved than simple spin balancing..My X had to have this done to every set of tires I put on..the X's suspension is very finicky about proper balance..

To prove..Rotate your fronts to the back and backs to the front and see if the vibration is felt in the seats and not the steering.

 

I gotcha. Would somewhere like Belle Tire do that Road Force Balancing? Also, I didn't have an alignment done but will try that if need be.

I guess I will first try and rotate the tires to see if it feels any different. If it does, I'd assume it needs a better balance. If no difference, maybe I need an alignment.

THANKS!!!
