Default Vibration

Hey guys im starting to have slight vibrations at around 78-80mph, the vibration is slight but enough to feel it and it feels like it disappears around 85mph-100mph, it might be the roads playing tricks on my mind. I just put on some 17" rims today that I bought used and would hate to find out they are bent which I dont think they are. Do you guys think it might be uneven tire pressure or I need a new alignment/tire balance?

I think you answered your own question...I'd check the tire pressure first, and then alignment/tire balance. I'd bet one of those is the culprit, and they're the easiest to check. 100mph?

Did you buy the tires mounted/balanced? Or were they on another car? If they are used I would get a cheap balance done. If your steering wheel is strait, and you drive strait down a road I would not bother with the alignment.

I am having the same problem. I wont be able to try and fix it until spring time now, but the thread might help you out.

Please let me know what you find out.
