Have you tried forced wheel balancing? focuses on balance of tyre itself not the wheel and wheel weights.

Just had the front wheels rebalanced last week.

UPDATE!

Two front tyres are deformed on inside edges.  Tyres are well worn (circa. 2mm remaining).  A pot hole or similar may have contributed to this.

Mechanic reports hes seen this before,

So which idiot balanced the wheels and failed to see your tyres were fecked?  :stupid:
Sarcasm for free. Anything after that can only be considered as a bonus.

Just because you think you know something, doesn't make you an expert if you've just read it on the internet, y'know.

Two new Eagle F1s later and the juddering has virtually disappeared.

One of the front alloys is damaged slightly, but balanced.  Was thinking about an alloy refurb anyway so might just get that done and hope that it corrects the alloy.  If not it'll go on the rear!

Good deal on Eagle F1s from Camskill.  £190 for 2!  225/40 x18
