Wheel balancing near Southampton/Salisbury.

[DarkMatter]

I would like recommendations please on somewhere in the Southampton/Salisbury area that would take great care in balancing the wheels on my Cayman. I’d like to think that the operator would listen carefully to the problem I describe and work carefully to resolve it.

I’ve read that the Hunter “Roadforce” Balancing equipment is good so perhaps there is someone in my area who uses that equipment?

Since I had 4 new Michelin PS2 tyres fitted to my Cayman last year there’s been a vibration which begins at about 65 to 70 mph. The wheels were balanced when the tyres were fitted, and I’ve had them balanced again since, but the vibration is still there - there was no vibration at all before the tyres were changed. I do have my suspicions that the problem may be with the rear tyres, perhaps one of them has a manufacturing fault?

Thanks.
DM.

Thanks PompeyReece, I’ve been there for my wheel alignment and very good he was too, but he only does alignment and I’m looking for someone equally diligent with regard to wheel balancing.

Hmm, that’s interesting. When I took the car for it’s alignment I asked about wheel balancing and was recommended to go to the nearby Tyreland which I did. Unfortunately the vibration is still present.

I’ve had my wheels balanced now at Christchurch Tyres, part of the Protyre group, where they used their Hunter “Roadforce” balancer. The wheels did not require much adjustment to the existing balance.
