    img etting this weird feeling in the car when im cruising along. if im sitting on the freeway doing 80-100km/h, there is a kinda pulsing noise/vibration throughout the car every 1 second or so.
    i noticed it kinda went away when i swapped wheels around, but i have changed them around again a while ago and its doing it again. would it be a wheel alignment issue? some of the wheels have some small weights on them, but do they need to be equal weight on each side of each axle? i dont know what theyre used for exactly

    Are they directional tyres? If so check they havent put them on backwards, thats teh noise they make when they are.

    The weights may not be equal due to each wheel balancing slightly differently.

    Drop by a beaurepaires and see what they say? It could just be the wear on the tyres perhaps?

    might of lost a weight off one of ur wheels?? or slight buckle in one of them??
    i had big trouble gettin my wire wheels spot on with balancing, so ended up getting a on-car balance and it fixed it straight away..
