I recently bought and installed a set of Blizzaks pre-mounted & blanaced on winter-steelies (from Tire Rack). I've since noticed a slight vibration around 80km/h.
Today is fairly warm so I will go take a look after work and see if anything is wrong.
My thoughts:
-check to make sure lug nuts are secure
-check tire pressures
But I have a feeling that Tire Rack properly inflated the tires (I realize that's an assumption) and I'm pretty sure that I properly tightened the lug nuts. There are weights on the outside of the rims, so I'm guessing the tires are well balanced also.
What else could I be forgetting? I don't have a torque wrench so I can't make sure the nuts are tightened to 80lb-ft but that shouldn't cause a vibration anyway, right?
Thanks in advance for your help.
