Can Tyres cause vibration?
Vehicles have so many spinning and moving parts that all kinds of things can cause vibrations. Those vibrations resonate through the car, causing it to shake. Fortunately, tires or wheels are the most likely cause of vibrations, and those are easily repaired or replaced by your repair shop.
What kind of vibration does a tire change cause?
I changed all 4 tires on my Acura TSX after 60000 miles from Michelins to Firestone GT Hawk. Now I get vibration when driving over 60 mph. The steering shakes – not violently but it is there and I can feel the floor & pedals
What should I do if my car tyre is vibrating?
Wheel fitters adjust weights to get a perfect tyre-wheel balance. If the vibration always occurs between certain speeds, such as between 55 and 60, ask your Protyre garage to check this for you. The mounts stop engine vibration and noise reaching the cab. They should last the lifetime of the car, but this is another thing to consider.
Why is my Acura TSX vibrating after a tire change?
Since many tire busters don’t spend a lot of time trying to understand these sorts of things, they will continually try to re-balance tires in the hope that this is the problem. But there are certain vehicles that seem overly sensitive to balance and uniformity – and the Acura TSX seems to be of them.
Why does my car have a lot of vibration?
A more likely cause of vibration is tyre damage. If you can see bulges on a tyre sidewall, it could presage a dangerous blow-out. Replace the tyre without delay. Internal delamination can be hard to spot and usually happens in hot weather.
What causes a vibration when you put on new tires?
Immediately after the new tires go on, I notice a vibration from the steering wheel at highway speed, above 60 mph. I took the car back to the tire shop (an independent tire shop, not a chain) and asked them to rebalance the tires. They did, and I took the car home. Drive to work the next day, vibration is worse.
Why is there a vibration in the back of my car?
One of the tires/wheels on the rear is the problem, that’s why the vibration moved from the steering wheel to the seat of your pants. Move one tire back to front on one side of the car at a time and that should isolate the one tire that is the culprit.

Why does my steering wheel vibrate when I shake the car?
Certain alignment issues in the back end can cause the steering wheel to vibrate as it shakes the car from side to side, for instance. Many people complain about experiencing vibration at certain speeds. This usually means that either a wheel is bent or a tire is out of round.
