Default Re: Any Tire Recomendations

Could be Rotors or any number of other issues and the question did not get resolved which wheel (wheels) were involved.

Have Nitto 555s and smooth as silk first time balanced at 130 mph

Some cannot get the LT5 running smooth either but then again we do not know the history of either your Nittos or those LT5s I mention
I greatly value your opinions and expertise on this forum.
But I had the car at Marc's in September - shook like crazy going up and shook the same coming back after he worked his magic on the LT5. The TIRES FAILED the "Road Force Balance" the Chevy dealer did on them due to "bad sidewalls". I have checked and re-checked other parts of the car that could cause vibration and found nothing. So I have no reason to believe that anything is wrong other then the tires. And the kicker was the whole runaround that I and my local tire dealer here got from the tech guy at Nitto - was going to warranty them so dealer ordered the tires and had 2 of em on the car - then reneged and said they wouldn't warranty them. SO from my experience I have no faith in Nitto - and I have a set of tires that won't balance and I'm stuck until I can come up with a grand to buy new ones...
