I notice tonight on the way home...i get a vibration in the steering wheel from 75-83ish

Everything i read online is that the tires are not balanced properly..think this is the case?

 

More than likely

 

i know the dealer put on new tires before i bought the car because the old ones were junk...thats gotta be it

 

Get em balanced and see if it solves the problem. Corner balancing should take care it.

 

Where the new tires just put on? If so I am sure they need a good balance however I would assume the dealer would have done that for you. Unless of course it wasn't done properly.

 

from my experience, a lot of shops use old machines to balance wheels. go somewhere where they have newer equipment. this is why i will only take my car to one place for wheel balances.

 

When they got the car..they put the tires on is what they said. Looking at all of the tread they are brand new if not very very very close to new

 

Find a shop that uses a Hunter GSP9700 roadforce balancer and tell them you want the tires roadforce balanced. Often it costs a little more but hey, you own a luxury car and vibration makes it feel like a POS. A think more often than not, a cheap set of tires are also hard to balance but I definitely agree that older equipment don't do a good job. FYI, most dealers use the Hunter machine.

if i rode on these without fixing it for a bit..will it hurt my vehicle in the long run? Or just make it shake at those speeds

 

correct me if i'm wrong but riding on unbalanced tires can make them wear unevenly?

 

They can..but my question is does it do any damage to the car itself..the tire yes..but the car?

 

Not immediately, but any sort of vibration for a long time isn't good for a car. Be worried more about the tires.... they will wear quick without proper balancing. R u sure that ur wheel alignment isn't out?

 

I am not but from what i am seeing and what i am hear is that a vibration in a certain speed..is 90% of the time caused by wheels not properly being balanced.

 

Could be ice in the wheel from all this snow we had that's throwing it out of balance.
