slightly wobbly wheel
« on: July 25, 2011, 08:38:53 pm »
should i be worried, had some new front tyres fitted this evening, one of them while on the balancing machine had a wobble, cant notice it tho, should i be worried enough to swap it for another wheel?

Cheers,

Mat

Is it noticable when you're driving? Almost all wheels & tyres are slightly out of true, but not significantly. This is why they get balanced before fitting. As long as you can't feel any wobble, don't worry.
