Hey, got my car back from the dealer and while it was there I had the tires balanced and rotated. On the wya home I felt the car vibrate around 45 - 50 mph, is this normal? Is it just a tire that needs to be worn down or has the dealership done something wrong?

 

If the vibration was not there before and now after a rotate and balance there is at a certain speed then one or more of the tires was probably not balance correctly. Have them try it again. Dingdongs.[:@]

 

Not necessarily. I've noticed that when I rotate my tires on my 3, specifically when I bring the rear tires to the front (I have directional tires on my car) that I get a noticable vibration. The tires wear on the inside edge (stock set-up has negative rear camber, so there is no way around it) and has caused the tread to feather a little (I've got 37,000 miles on my rear tires and they are Z-speed rated, so I think that mileage is fairly good considering.)

Just something else to check.

 

they did move the rear tires to the front and i do have a 3...is it off balance or is this normal like sstlaure said. i have goodyear eagle one tires, not sure if they are directional
