Haha sorry buddy, didnt mean to be debby downer. It's really strange everyone says everything's fine but I know it isn't. Yet I've done about 50 or more thousand k and other than annoying me it doesn't seem to have any adverse effect. I find it's worse with ATs on verse road wheels. My bus feeling is there is something lose in the steering rack.
had any luck mate?
VK3GJM kindly loaned me a set of 19s with 255/55 General Grabbers.Quote:

Back to the drawing board.
19" GGs with 60000 on them weren't noticeably noisier than 20" Cooper LTZs with less than 15000 on them. Definitely significant differences in ride and handling between rim sizes.
I just put a (another) different set on mine again, this time with Pereli ATRs and.... the vibration is worse. 😩
Again only through the steering wheel though. The rest of the car doesn't shake. It has to be the steering rack, right?
I'm really hoping not!! There'd be some tell tale play, surely? Next I think I'll try getting a four wheel alignment just to be sure nothing's out.Quote:

I didn't know there was one... a basic subscription isn't enough to access those, is it?Quote:
