With judicious loading up of weights, you can fake a bad tire into feeling pretty much "right" at any speed and under any loading. In order to appreciate this, you need to know a guru who really understands tire dynamics. I just happen to know one of those. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

One of the problem I use to have was the same as what you are having now, the tires vibrates not only when running but it also was vibrating when I apply the brake......I ask people around, my friends, mechanics and car enthusiasts...different people had different experiences and expertise so obviously they gave different answers. If the car you are driving goes to the left or right when you don't hold the steering wheel, you need wheel alignment...If the tires vibrates when you car is running, you need to re- align your tires, If when you brake you can feel the vibration thru the steering wheel, your brake disc might need re- machining or probably your brake pads needs replacement.... but here's what I did since my budget is tight... after re-aligning the wheel and tires(the vibration were still present afterall ),instead of resurfacing the brake disc, I tried to apply brake slowly and smoothlywhen I approach to slowdown thinking that it would later improve the ups and downs surface of the disc, and believe or not, the vibration is gone after sometime.... you don't believe? well I just did it the way coz I believe that it's like re-surfacing the disc ( I used to be an automotive machinist and resurfacing brake discs and brakedrums are one of my job) .Try to do what I did if your budget is tight but if you have money, then re-surface your brake disc after confirmation that wheels and tires are aligned... of course proper torquing is essential to wheel and tire alignment ...Try it! |

After replacing nearly the entire braking system, the problem still persisted until he replaced the tires "cause they were worn." Needless to say, he suffered the symptoms for a couple of years... JT BTW, my splel chekker wants to correct yer handle to "egger." Go figah! |

No. It may occur only when there's force being applied, as opposed to just rolling down the road. |
