Maybe your wheels need balancing? TBH I've never had this problem.

I had this after Kwik Fit put new tyre's on my last car. They checked it and the balance was literally a few grams out, but it was enough to make it vibrate at high speed.

Wayhay first post

My old rover 220 turbo tomcat had 17" tsw and god knows how many tyre fitters tried to balance them - I think its just fitters not concentrating on where exactly to put the weight :wink:

Tip on inflation:
When I did my tyre pressures I misread the info and inflated my fronts to 36psi.
Handled awesome but the trade off was when Honda put a spanking set of Bridgestones on I needed to steer at a 45 degree angle to go straight. :shock:
They simply adjusted from the steering rack to put right. It then went back in as I was getting a vibration above 60mph - wheel balance was out.

Check the insides of the tyres for bulges as well, but yeah its likely to have lost a weight or two and needs rebalancing
