    Just got a set of new tyres on an Audi TT, but get some vibrations at speeds between 100 kph and 120 kph. Could anyone recommend a good place to get them balanced in south County Dublin? Or would any normal Kwik-Fit (or similar) place be okay?

    Thanks! :)

    Thanks Bazzy. Should have mentioned that I did, and they said they rebalanced it, but the vibration was still there. :(

    Possibly Buckled Alloy?

    I would get them to check the balance again and while each wheel is on the balance machine get them to check to see if there are any buckles or flat spots in the rims.

    Thanks for the replies, all. Will likely head back to the same guy to check again the rims, as recommended.

    Cheers! :D
