New wheels and tires-Vibration Problem
Got wonderfull SSR-GT3 wheels and Pilot Sports and Hsport anti roll bars- love the handling BUT am getting almost constant vibration through the floor,seat and steering wheel- it does go away at afew speeds and gets much worse at others but is present at most speeds over 18 MPH. Installer only admitted 2 rear tires had flat spots after Tire Rack talked to them-just got replacement tires and problem is utterly unchanged- Any suggestions?

Re: Make sure you have the tires and wheels mounted and balanced with the Hunter GSP system
Yes -done on Hunter. Installer has been very vague and unhelpfull(supposed to be their best in the area)-He said he did not feel anything and if I still felt there was a problem"it must be the wheels"- don't forget this is the guy that knew two tires were out of round the first time and just gave me my care with a smile!

I had my new tires mounted with the Hunter system that detected 2 slightly bent Avus wheels and
NO vibration or shimmy at any speed even at 110 mph. The beauty of the hunter system is that it can compensate for imperfect wheels and tires. BUT sometimes a tire is so unbalanced it cannot be compensated. I had that problem with my daughter's TT. I had the tire replaced and the problem went away. Perhaps, you ned to call Tire Rack AND go to another installer. Perhaps they can compensate you in some way. I believe there is a 30 day trail period from TR. Send them back if not satisfied.(I know that will be a BIG hassle!)

Is there anyway it could be the anti-roll bars? What is strange is that they replaced 2 tires known to be out of round with 2 new ones and there is almost no change.
