Vibration & Road Condition

Rusty

The type of pavement you're on has a lot to do with it. Smooth blacktop, rough blacktop, concrete etc. My Z reacts differently to each type. And the tire noise is different too. Love smooth blacktop. HATE rough concrete.

I was thinking about the same as the vibration comes and goes depend on the fwy. I think these wide summer tires are also more sensitive to road surface condition as well.

Do you also get slight vibration on certain road surface?

Rusty

Yea, though the whole car.

I can imagine that the whole car could get some vibration if the pavement is rough, but what about vibration/shake on the steering wheel while on different fwy surface?

a lot of the summer tires are actually soft enough that over night they can actually develop a flat spot when its colder out and they cool off in that position over night . my car will actually vibrate for about the first 10 to 15 mins driving when its cold outside until the tires warm up a little and they are just dunlop sport tires . the vibration is not bad at all but its enough you can feel it in the wheel . its usually right between 65 and 70 that its the most noticeable . once they warm up it goes right away . btw the softer the compound of the tire the worse this affect can be . pay attention to when it does it . it may be just that simple .

Thanks all for the responses.

will take it back and have them check the balance of the tires.
