60mph vibration re fullrun tyres
After many ballances the problem persists, the car has been fully checked and no mechanical problems have been found and my garage guy thinks that the tyres are the culprits.Upper and lower control arms have been recently replaced and the alloys appear fine. After fiititing the spare last night to both sides and test driving it does seem to half the vibration the spare has a michelin on, so before I go and buy 2 Michelin tyres or Continental? I just wondered if anyone has had a similar issue with these 'Budget' tyres?? thanks. |

Fullrun tyres link:
FULLRUN Not dissing China made products, but buying those tires would not be my pick, with all the bigger name/higher quality tire brands to choose from. Your garage guy should be able to see extreme "runout"/eccentricity with a low-medium speed spin test, with those tires mounted; my guess is they were stored standing up, handled badly in shipment, or just plain junque to begin with. And, your experience of mounting the spare and seeing reduced vibration really solves the question, imo. I would toss them and buy a pair, or set of a real name brand. GL, mD

dont buy the tires yet. Have you installed any new front end suspension components? if so that could be thee culprit.

Thanks for replies, the car has been in to garage a few times and I trust my guy there, he's been over all mechanical problems and come up with nothing he did say there was 'run out' on these fullrun tyres.
Ive also googled fullrun and it seems that other people have had issues with them, oh dear saving a few quid in the first place seems to have cost me now! |
