I?ve just returned from a 300 mile journey with a friend in his 1999 Volvo V70 T5. The car was suffering from a slight vibration through the steering at motorway cruising speeds. He tells me the problem started a few weeks ago immediately after having the front discs and pads changed plus four new Pirelli zero tyres.
The main dealer initially said ?wait 1500 miles for the tyres to bed in? this came and went with no discernible change. They have now rebalanced all the tyres, again no change!
Any suggestions??

Did they balance the wheels while they were on the car ?

I will have to find out if the wheels were balanced on the car. Can you tell me more about this?

Alternatively search for Dynamic Balancing.
Ask if you need further clarification.

Paul,
When you look at Mark's link take note of my post on that thread (D J Woollard) about tread variation. Far more common that you may expect with any make of tyre.

Thanks for the information - I'll forward the details to my friend and let you know how he gets on!

Get the thing down to Micheldever Tyres and onto their proper pitted laser alignment set-up (or to anyone else who has one and knows how to use it). Changing ths discs has disturbed the alignment and it has not been re-set properly.

Wouldnt be exactly uncommon for the discs to be either warped,or not put on quite true,either.
Impossible?
Yeah,but it keeps happening.
