Hello,

I would really appreciate help with this,

After I have rotated and balanced my tires (Pirelli Scorpions), I started experiencing vibration from 80mph+

It is intermittent though.

I noticed that the tires although they had enough tread on them, they were very dry and cracking, so I replaced them with fresh rubber (Nexen Roadians) and balanced those, thinking that would solve the problem.

I still have the same vibration, which is very frustrating as I did not have this vibration prior to rotating my tires!

Any ideas what other areas I should check, other than the tires and balancing?

Cheers!

Did you road force balance? Just because they are new tires doesn't guarantee good balancing.

Update

Just went back to the tire shop, seems that they offer a free Road Force Balance with every tire installation, although the technician who installed my tires originally did a good job, he did not bother to use the Hunter 9700 Road Force Balancer.

I just got my tires re-balanced on the road force machine. They had to rotate one tire on the wheel (I never understand what this does exactly...), two other tires re-balanced, and the 4th they had to replace with a new one as it seems it had excessive imbalance and was not balancing on the road force machine.

To note that the tires are 1218 production so they are fairly new stock. It also seems that my wheels are fine and rotate within 0.0025".

Driving great now, however I will see what happens in three days if the vibration comes back or not. It was only from 75mph +

Cheers!
