They say its the tyres...

i get a bit more than i should but every time i get new tyres they tell me how much of a pain my wheels are to balance so i think my wheels are the problem not so much the tyres... none of your rims could be slightly buckled or anything? hit a big pothole or anything?

No pothole etc. I got the car 4 weeks ago (private sale) and its been like that. Everything else on it is in A1 condition. It hasnt been driven much, been sitting in the previous owners garage most of its life. 55000km and 5 years old.

Dont know if this helps you guys help me... if I over-inflate the front tyres to about 35psi its noticeably better. Yet of course its a rougher ride then.

mine did this when there was a bit of mud on the inside of the rim. Two tyre places didnt know what it was, the 3rd i took into works tyre supplier fixed straight away. Doesnt take much.

Are they stock rims? or after market?

u should b running the tyres at about 35 36psi neways, really until uve got the rims back on the balancer theres not much else 2 look at if all ur suspension is A1. mayb try a few different mechinics incase this 1 u used missed somthing?

If your rims are outta round, this can happen.
also the weights can be thrown off if they haven't been put on properly.
Go and get them reballenced and this will probally fix the problem. Some wheel fitters are lazy and don't weight them properly, had this problem myself before.

get them to check the disk rotor for balance, mainly the rear's...yes the rear's.

The buy who balanced the wheels yesterday usually does a proper job. It wasnt a tyre play but a mechanic. Plus this is the second time they were balanced, the first time it was at Holden about 4 weeks back.

find out if he uses the newer laser balancers, if not somtimes as said the weights might slightly b outer place.
