Help answer this question below.

Bought a used car and noticed a significant vibration over 50 mph. Put tires on a Hunter GSP9700, showed 3 tires had 8 lb, one had 31 lb road force. Tech remounted tire, got it down to 24 lb. Better, but vibration is still there. Is that tire bad?

What about the rim? Try dismounting and changing over two of the tires. If the problem follows the "bad" tire then I would expect the problem to be the tire. If the problem persists with the rim then it would be a bad rim.

I got my tires balanced 2 days ago. my car rides far better but i get this bad shake at 47-50 mph. almost feels like the car shakes side to side. also i feel a light vibration at hwy speeds (65-75 mph). i feel the vibration mostly in my butt. any ideas?

My car [the tires?] always seem to make a "patter patter patter" sound [like I am going over a series of bumps], & when I get over 60mph there is also significant vibration. Have checked tire pressure and lug nuts. Wat else may be causing this? Thanks!

I prurchased tires and the tire dealership put the wrong size tire..my car requires 195/60 R15 the tire store put 195/65 R15 would that cause a problem with the way my car drives and would it waste gas faster than the original tire size?

My car lists 2 tire types (P215/55R17 & P215/60R16). I currently have P215/55R17 on all 4 tires & the spare. When it comes time to replace the 4 tires, I would like to use P215/60R16. Will this cause any problems if my spare is still P215/55R17?
