new front tyre - wheel wobble at 80mph

mcfisco

If I have been misinformed, I apologise, and if anyone knows where I can get the wheels balanced at 80mph around Stoke, it would be appriciated.

As above, if it's balanced accurately, it shouldn't show any imbalance symptoms at any speed.
In an ideal world it should be balanced on the vehicle as the rotating mass of the wheel includes the brake disc and the hub as well as the wheel and tyre.
I don't know of any tyre places that have the kit to do that.

In general, if a new tyre is up and its black, but has a new wobble, its not been balanced properly. There are cases, some 4x4s that can only get it just right by an on-car balance, but they are few and far between.

Just take it to a "proper" tyre fitter and get them to re-balance the wheels. Cost about £6 a wheel when I last had it done. See if you can find a place that uses 5g weights. Lots stop at 10g as it's "close enough".

get them re balanced and ask them to check to see if the rim has buckled you may have gone down a pothole & slightly distorted the rim, so common in my place where i work.
