New Tyres ....

So I had all season tyres fitted (with snowflake symbol) My contis were pretty bald :oops: and not much help in the snow.

I had kleb quadraxer on 17's fitted.

However when he came to fit them he commented that 2 of my alloys were really quite badly buckled and he moved the buckled wheels to both rears, whereas before they were both on the left. I noticed steering feeling like s**t before but put it down to tramlining.

At my MOT he mentioned it but said it was OK. I have been planning to get some yummy CSL 18s in spring.

Anyway, since fitting, I've noticed really awful vibration above 70 :wink:


Is it just my wheels being fuked?







I'm a bit scared after a wheel fell off my Beetle while I was driving it :oops:
 
Probably is just the wheels, although surprised they managed to get them balanced.

When they're off, you could pop them down to Lepson's in Swindon - did a great refurb on my 18s, fantastic work on Daveg's and sorted my mate's buckled XKR wheel.

CSLs :thumbsup:
 
Ohhh thanks! Plan is to keep the 17's and all s's for next winter, so worth investment.


He was such a nice chap that fitted, I'd gotten used to to the wandering feeling :oops:
 
i had a buckled front wheel on my last car... i moved it to the rear and above 70 it would give me a vibration.. like a back massage!!

Only way to correct it is try to get someone to straighten it out...

I also had a wheel fall off on my Celica many years ago.. after a mate forgot to do the bolts up properly... i now am so paranoid i check my bolts are secure atleast monthly!
