Default One last issue. Vibration.

When on the interstate my steering wheel vibrates a tad more than I like.

Is there anything besides the wheels being out of balance that would make my steering wheel vibrate. Tomorrow I planned on dropping it off to have them balanced. Pretty sad they were mounted and balanced like 8 months ago, and then again after my fender bender about 3 months ago.

Another day another issue. I love it.

Default Sometimes I leave my S4 outside for a few days in winter. If I have driven in snow/ice..........

and it gets into the wheels it will melt and then freeze solid. There have been times where I can't even see the small amount of ice that has pooled on the bottom and frozen. The next day I hit highway speed and I'll get a shudder. Pull the car in the garage, it melts, I'm good to go.

Does it vibrate less when you rotate your tires?

Default I had similar issues. If it's mainly at high speeds, a good balance should fix it....

Try to find a shop with a Hunter 9700 to do the full road force / rim run-out balancing.
