New wheels
 
:( Finally got some new wheels now the probs start..Firstly I bought 4 v spoke style 87 but they are all 9 1/2 x 20...I know 2 should be 10 1/2 but they are rare as rocking horse shit I didnt want reps.
Had been on a landy and came with 2 worn goodyears and 2 brand new 1xNexen Roadian HP and 1xKumho Ecsta STX all are 295 40 R20 .when I put them on the balance was way out so had em done but still got a wobble over 45 and braking from 70 is interesting...I kind of think I know where the problem is but I thought if I shared someone might chuck me a bone with something I hadn't thought of. Gonna take em off 2 at a time in the morning and drive around with 2 of the old wheels on as I know they dont 'kin wobble. Reluctant to fork out for 4 new tyres if any of the wheels are fubar'd but I would of thought that would show up when balancing :dunno:

different tires will fuck up your all wheel drive(transfer case). check those wheels on a roadforce for any bends that are not that noticeable. vibration when braking at 70 is most likely your tension strut bushings

Ta for reply took fronts off this morning and put back on 2 old 19's and voila no f'in vibration,shudder,judder f'all. Just a low rumble from the 2 different 1's on the back which I can live with cos I dont hear it when I turn the stereo up. 4 new tyres on the way....

Point taken...Nexen a shed load softer than the Kumho can press the tread sideways with 1 finger and no effort. 4 new ones as of Thursday, no bugger stocks em near me gotta order em in:dunno:

and that is just the exterior of the tire. the interior is made to the same shitty specs..
