I just got new tires 205/60/15 and now I have some vibration (it feels like it's coming from the front tires) when I reach about 60 miles per hour. I have tried adjusting the tire pressure and that didn't seem to help.

Typically if they are vibrating it means they were poorly balanced or you lost the balance weights on the tire. Take the tires back to the place you purchased them and ask them to re-balance your tires because you are getting vibration. They should do it for free if the tires are new. Just let them know of the problem.

Chances are it something as simple as a wheel balance. Typically, you will feel a vibration above 30/35 mph is the wheels are not properly balanced. If you feel a wobble up to 30/35 mph, chances are you have a bad tire, the tire may have a bubble, or the steel belt shifted.

Its stated as Harmonic Imbalance. whilst specific situations all meet then this vibration or imbalance can ensue. My brother had a well-known era Ford Escort and it might do the same element between 50 and fifty 5. it must be some thing that isn't top with the vehicle which contain tires or unfastened or defective areas or it ought to of been engineered into the motor vehicle that may not be corrected. That Escort may well be an occasion of the later. I owned an 89 Honda Accord and with the AC on and incontinual status nonetheless the steerage wheel might shake like loopy. i might placed it in impartial whilst waiting for site visitors lighting fixtures because of the fact it became into so annoying. standard making use of it may well be advantageous and delicate.

The only thing that would cause any vehicle to vibrate at that speed would be that the tires are not balanced or you could have a bad tire. a bad tire can be detected if you have a knot or a bubble anywhere on the tire that does not look right alignment will not cause this problem, that is only for premature or improper tire wear.

Take it back to the tire shop. It is either the tires are not balanced properly or you have got a bad tire. Have a look at how much weight it took to balance the tires. If one has a lot more than the others that could be the culprit.

easy. Your tires were not balanced properly when you bought them. GO BACK to the place that you bought them from and have them balanced. Front tires on a Front wheel drive car need to be balanced or the car will vibrate.

sounds like you did not have the tires balanced or the weights fell off, if the vibration is there now and was not there before it has to be something you did.

That kind of vibration usually comes from the wheels being out of alignment.
