On car tire balancing: GTA?

[kristobias]

Does anyone know a good shop that does on car tire balancing? I am trying to isolate an issue that occurs around 125km/h and static balancing has not helped.

thanks

Is your vibration from the front or rear?You cannot do an oncar balalancing on the rear because of the limited slip.

left front it seems. Driving me nuts. Wheels are perfectly hub centric and balance beautifully off the car. Then whammo I get a vibration at 120-130

I'm experiencing that too...I'm beginning to suspect it's my tires. I'm taking off my front spacer(turner) tomorrow. Subscribed to solution.

Edit: I should add that I feel like it's my tires because of my previous experience in our E60. We replaced 2 of the tires that were somewhat "hopping" on the balancer.

Have you had them checked on a road force balancer.Also make sure the shop uses an adaptor that uses a bolt hole mounting system not a spindle mount like most balancers use.I had issues on one of my trucks and this how we solved the issue.I have not had any balancing issues for a while except for my problems with the tires slipping on my track wheels at the track.

Fronts went on a road force balancer last week and the local dealer said they were good. Rears have not been done. They have been statically rebalanced since then. But with a spindle mount. I am going to get them done with a bolt hole adaptor (never seen one but I can see how that would be a good idea).

The operator can also make a huge difference as most of the modern machines have a more sensitive setting for problem wheel assemblies.
