It will be ok on the dyno

Anybody else know for certain that it be ok on the dyno at r-tech??

Not sure nick will be happy sitting 3ft away from a vibrating wheel while the car is doing 110mph  :scared:

Best pop into a reputable tyre place and get them rebalanced. Should be around £20

How bad is the vibration?

Is it low level, or is it fierce and actually shakes the hell out your arms as the latter will be dangerous on the dyno.

That said even low level vibration is going to affect your dyno run, spend a few £s and get it sorted.

I have no doubt that if the tyre place is reputable they will do it for free, it could be something as simple as the weight coming off as you drove away.

Well IMO you really need to explain the whole vibration thing to the dyno guys and let them decide if its safe or not.
