Ronal Wheels

Since I installed them, car shakes at certain speeds. Replaced tires, balanced wheels, aligned wheels and still shakes at 60-70 mph. Any ideas?
thnx

Wheel balance machine

You might try finding a tire shop that uses a Hunter GSP9700 machine. I've found it to get results when no others could. You have to ask for it by name because even the shops that have them, usually only have one and don't use them for general balancing.<ul><li><a href="http://www.GSP9700.com">http://www.GSP9700.com</a</li></ul>

You also have to ask for a full "Road Force" balance. Cost me $40 for all 4.

What tires did you put on the Ronal Wheels?-->

I went through the same problem, but it was the Dunlop SP5000 tires. The first had a "bump" in two of the tires that caused vibration at 45-65 mph. Two were replaced and it was OK for awhile then the vibration returned. Recently replace the SP5000 with the new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S and the change is dramatic. No vibration, better ride etc.

The Hunter GSP9700 has the capability to balance wheels/tires-->

under real world conditions--it can put the pressure on the tire similar to actual driving conditions rather than just spinning the tire in the air. It was the only way the problems in my SP5000s were found. Take a look at the link attached.<ul><li><a href="http://www.gsp9700.com/pub/search/findgsp9700.cfm">http://www.gsp9700.com/pub/search/findgsp9700.cfm</a</li></ul>
