    Ford Falcon 2006: Tyre troubles

    Ford Ford Advice Ford Falcon Ford Falcon Advice Ford Falcon 2006

    After a recent tyre change I noticed a vibration from the front and rear of my 2006 Falcon XR6 Turbo. I complained of improper balancing to the fitters, who rebalanced the tyres without making any improvement. The blame has been attributed to the alloy wheels being slightly out of round, but I feel this cannot be the case. I have never had an accident with the car, neither have I curbed the wheels. I have checked the car thoroughly with the Ford dealer where the car is serviced and they have blamed the tyres. The tyre dealer says there is nothing wrong with the tyres after having them checked visually.

    Alloy wheels do go out of round without necessarily hitting kerbs. I would swap the wheels from side to side and see if there is any improvement, you could also dismount the tyres and reposition them on the rims, and have them balanced at another tyre outlet, you could also approach the tyre manufacturer for help.
