Vibration @ 120km/h 04 Accord
 

My '04 I4-auto Accord had a wicked vibration at 80-100km/h until the dealer rebalanced the tires... now the vibration is at 100-120km/h (highway speeds).

I assume Honda dealers know how to balance tires so should I be looking for problems elsewhere?

The car has 500km's on it now... one week old

Hi,
Two things on tires, dynamic balancing and trueness. some tires are not
really round.

I forgot to mention the dealer swapped new 15" aluminum rims for the stock
steel rims... I noticed a small read dot on the tire... wonder if that has
anything to do with balance...

Go to a TIRE STORE and have your tires computer balanced. Betcha' a buck,
if they do it right the vibration will be gone...
