Full Version: Answer to my Tire QUESTION...?

I had recently asked a question about why a set of my tires where trembling so badly... Every one was check your tires' balance and air pressure and all...

Well, I had check my tires' air pressure and all but that did nothing.

TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT...
I had took the car to a tire place this morning in my local area and they put two new tires on (the trembling ones where new, too). But unlike the place that had put the trembling ones, this place had a device that spins the tire and tells the person how many weights to put on to stop the wobbling and trembling that I had felt. THIS TYPE OF BALANCE IS CALLED SPEED BALANCE or DYNAMIC BALANCE where as the one that had put the trembling ones on did only a STATIC BALANCE.

The link below tells more in detail about these types of balances. OH, I almost forgot, the tires that where on the car before I got the trembling ones made me think that my car just need an alignment job. But Dynamic Balancing the tires prove to solve that problem as well. Even when the car was new it did not go down the road that straight or that fast without you losing control.

But hay, check out the link, to learn more:

I thought all tire specialists used speed/dynamic balancing for tires...at least everywhere I've been to in the UK and Europe uses this method.

BTW: Did you get your wheel alignment checked?
