Road force balancing

[timster]

Hi, would anyone know where I could the above done? Suffering with vibration on the front wheels, have been to two tyre places with the same results. I think it might be tyres out of round but would like it confirmed. Thanks

Are they new tyres or older ones that have just started to vibrate?

Call Hunter in the uk and ask them who near you has a road force elite balancer. When you have you appointment to get them checked, drive at least 15 minutes to get there and don’t park for more than a couple of minutes before you get the wheels checked.

They're around a year old and done 1500 miles.

I've just checked their website, it looks like that's for business enquiries only. Here's a snippet from their website

OK well that rules out going back to your tyre supplier.

Does the car sit for long periods of time, or is it a daily driver?

It did sit for around 4 months in the same place, trying to rule out the tyres being out of round. If I run my hand over the tyre it feels okay, would just like to know before replacing them.

You'll not be able to tell by hand.
Could try pumping them up real hard see if that makes any difference.
Being out of shape after sitting for some time in exactly the same spot is definitely possible.
