So had 4 new tyres fitted and balanced can see they've changed the weights about. On some motorways I can feel a slight vibration through the steering wheel only. If I go a bit faster than I should it gets worse. So I thought they've not balanced them properly. However, went onto a different motorway shortly after. No small vibrations and even when I gave it some no vibrations either. So I'm curious is this just the road surface I can now feel through these tyres (Conti Premium contact 6) or does this point to another issue?

If it depends on the road surface I'd have thought it was more likely a characteristic of the tread than a balance issue.

Was thinking the same, I will check the pressures are right. Not ideal if it is due to tread though it's quite unsettling.
