Seems to last about 500/600 miles, and they go out of balance again, around 70 mph.

....and no, I don't kerb them, and haven't lost any weights.

Omega seemed to last forever.

That will be tyre based problem, try swopping front to back,if it does it again,try for a warranty claim on the tyres,depending on the age and tread left will depend on % refunded and weather its a valid claim

[Kevin Wood]

Yep, tyres or perhaps the wheel's out of true?

[Auto Addict]

I've swopped the fronts to the back, had them all rebalanced, and it's still happens.

I've had the same issue with my 18" Good Year Assymetric 2's. The solution was to have them balanced on a Hunter 9700 device, that one also add's some pressure on the thread of the tyre, kinda simulating it is driving on the road. After that my problem was solved.

I'll try that, there's a place quite near.

Would be interested in feedback as had a problem with my wife's fronts - mind you I have always had a problem with "them"...

We only got 15000 out of them.

Is this the right forum & wouldn't your wife object if you discussed her fronts on an open public forum?

I have faced this problem on my ex cars when wheel center have some extra space to move.. ( wheels not original)


you may need a very thin metal/plastic ring in between imo

or even 2-3 layers of plastic strap around the center may solve..

I would have thought that a stud mount for the wheels on the balance setup would overcome a centre error?

Of course I suspect thus far they have been balanced using a centre mount?

[cem_devecioglu]

and also next time when balancing check/ask how much grams of weight they use.. if more than 30 grams/tyre  there is something wrong ..

Correct.

[Auto Addict]

Shortly after I bought it, I noticed the front wheels had gone out of balance.

Had all four wheels balanced, shortly after that, again the front wheels went out of balance.

Had the fronts re-balanced, and swopped to the back, the back were still perfectly balanced, now on the front.

Now they've gone out of balance again.

  I'm shocked you go that fast AA.....you always said you never went over 40mph

Why is that cem?? I had my back wheels balanced a while back......to sort out a backend vibration at about 65-70mph.......they used 50grams of weight on one wheel and 75g on the other......it sorted the vibration out
