Title: slightly wobbly wheel
Post by: m4t_lee 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.

mine had a very slight one, just stuck it on the rear and had no issues, got it refurb'd and they got rid of it
