Hi everyone. I need some help. My car vibrate when i go on the highway when i hit around 100, then after a while it goes smooth again. I dunno what the problem is. Can anyone help? At first I thought it was from my winter tires that need to be rebalanced, but last weekend I had brand new 17's put on it and the problem is still there. It's been balanced and everything too. I feel the vibration in the steering wheel and gas pedel. It comes and goes. If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate that

get an alignment done

your rims might be bent if wheel balancing didnt solve it

An alignment for a vibration?? come on man use your head. don't give false info where he's gonna go spend $70 for an alignment and still have the same issue.

Check for wheel balance and or bent rims also shifted belts in the tire(yes even brand new ones), severly worn wheel bearings can also cause vibrations. Also a warped driveshaft/axle or worn cv joint can cause a vibration as well.

check all those starting with the balance and condition of tire and rim as those are the most likely and most common. Like I said even brand new tires can have shifted belts, depending how they were stored and handled as well as rims being bent, but not visible to the naked eye is possible as well even if brand new.

well it was doing that earlier before i got my new rims. but not as bad. i was hoping getting new rims and rubbers would get rid of it. so you think it would be a warped driveshaft/axle or worn cv joint? is there any way i can tell or should i just bring it to the dealer and get bum raped? any options is good to me right about now

Honestly most winter tires will have a minor vibration in them it's normal cause of the compound of the tire.

I would still check tire balance, rims and for a shifted belt in the tire first just cause it's the cheapest. Or you could go to a shop and tell them that you have a vibration get them to roadtest and check everything and see what they think.
