Default slight vibrating at 75 plus....

just got new wheels and tires, Falken ST115, and I notice a slight vibration at 75 plus, Im assuming this is due to improper weighting during a balance. Is there anything else I should know that might be causing this? A break in period on tires? Ive never heard of anything like that, but then again Im no expert. Help is good.

Default No breakin period - you have a issue.

1. Can be a out of round tire.

2. You can look to see if one tire has lots of weights added - if yes, have them rotate the tire 180° and rebalance.
3. Shocks and other suspension can be a issue.
4. Moving the tires front to rear can be a tool to see which tire is at fault.

I usually get my car aligned when I put new tires on. I would have that done and then if still there have the tires rebalanced.

Default Locate a Hunter GSP9700 balancer shop(Hunter.com site locator) and rebalance.

This the most advance balancer available and will find tire and rim issues immediately.
