Vibration on steering wheel and gas pedal after changing new tyres

xlight

Have done a few wheel balancing since last Thursday after changing my old dunlop Sport01 RF to Hankook K117 RF, Still experiences the vibration on steering wheel and gas pedal, and this vibration becomes stronger when accelerating.

Had something similar years ago
Wheel nuts weren't fully tight
Sounds to easy to be problem but could well be

I visited a place in Naas yesterday for a rebalancing and I can see they used air gun first and then manually tested using a spanner. Any other thoughts why this happens??

Almost everything is checked, suspension, balancing, etc.

The only concern is the tyre caused the issue. It's a asymmetric tyre but with direction arrow, and all of them are pointing the same direction which caused two of them on one side is not following the direction arrow on the tyre, but they are all installed correctly (OUTSIDE on the sidewall facing me).

Does the vibration make itself felt stronger in low gears, and disappears while coasting/traveling at constant speed/decelerating?

If that's the case, it might be an engine mount broken or on its way to break...

If this immediately started to happen after you got a new tyre, go back to the shop that fit the tyre and tell them the wheel is is now causing vibrations.

Let them diagnose the fault.

Something like this happened to me before and that the tyre itself was faulty with excessive run-out (egg shaped wheel)

It's feels while cruising. At a lower speed you dont really feel it.

The place I went for is not good, see my other thread and you know what I am talking about.

Perhaps I will have to go to main dealer and see what they will do. The vibration is very annoying specially I am driving long distance (motorway + nationalway) these days.

No need to go to a main dealer, just go to a reputable tyre specialist.

What car is it?

Steel or alloy wheels?

New or 2nd hand tyres?

So read ur other 48 threads related to this one thing and got my answers


Bmw suspension arms/bushes wear a lot - start there

Alloys on german scrap get a lot of corrosion build up on the hub. If not cleaned properly the wheel may not be sitting right.


I would suggest that you do what you shoulda done from the start and go to a good tyre shop like atlas or fastfit and keep away from the likes of people that threaten you

.

By "spanner" id assume you mean a torque wrench. All the nuts and bolts on your car have torque settings ( how tight they should be) . Using a torque wrench means they are set properly and not over or under tightened.

Great points, I will start from those places.

mmmm, interesting to know that. I will check the value on the torque setting. Thanks for the help.
