HiSpoke to Bridgestone today
They told me for my model of tyre and size their acceptable limit is 16kg So my tiyres are within spec. They did offer to test my wheels and tyres and ship them from Coffs Harbour To Sydney for free. Turn around though is a couple of weeks.
Bridgestone said there shouldn't be a noticeable vibration at 10. and 11.5 so they think the machine i had my tyres tested on could be out. If it is, and they are over 16kg they will replace the tyres. If they aren't, they will send them back and I wont be given replacements.
I reckon i can see it now, the tyres will be within spec and I will have to live with it. Holden wont want to know either if Bridgestone have fobbed me.
I dont know if i should waste my time as i can pretty much guarantee they will say they are fine
When i spoke to the rep where i had mine tested, he said it was a load of poo, they don't fit anything that is more than 9kg out. But that might just be them or Goodyears policy.
They were quite happy to deal with me and i had no problem bypassing Holden. They told me Holden would only just refer it back to Bridgestone anyway. They said I dont need to go through Holden as they would fix the problem themselves if there was one.
still considering my options for now
Do you have a spare pair of wheels & tyres? If so, put them on & drop the wheels & tyres that are out of balance of at Bridgestone for testing.
You may get a new pair of tyres. If not, put them back on the car.
Only do this if no cost to you.
