Just a quick question on vibration issues noticed vibration coming through the steering wheel so i had all the wheels rebalanced which were out, had the 4 wheel alignment checked on the Hunter 4 wheels system which was out however i still have have a slight vibration, however before i bought the SC it was in the garage parked up for about 4 months before i bought it could the following cause vibration

1. Flat spots on the 4 tyres ???

2. pads and discs will have to be changed in the next 6,000 miles

i have done a search but cannot find any info your help will be very much appreciated

Is the vibration constant at any speed, or speed dependent?

Vibration is constant

Sorted out my wheel vibration problem, it was either the wheels or tyres ive put new HST 20" wheels and Nokian 275/40/20 tyres and the problem has gone

1. either flats spots on the tyres
2. wheels were buckled

Who the **** makes Nokian tyres and why on earth would you fit budget tyres to a Sport?
I would suspect these tyres are made for the Chav T4 brigade who seem to like fitting stolen 20" wheels to their VANS..... 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈
Cruising daily #56 mph in a Volvo V8. 😱
Lots of other toys in the cupboard...😜

I would have thought that buckled or out of shape wheels would have been picked up during the wheel balance. I had mine done a while ago because of vibration at about 50 mph. I was shocked when the guy in the tyre bay showed me how oval my 2 front wheels were

I had nokian tyres on my x5 and they are far superior than the winter conti's and Michelin they are made in Finland/ Denmark there made for the snow and ice

Do you think after they stopped making mobile phones they simply added an N to their name and started making tyres?

Nokian is a very good tyre...I had them on several other cars...
I had so an issue with 4 new Pirelli PZero... 3 of them where like eggs...only one was relative good...
Now I mounted 4 Michelin Latitude Sport 3...This is the best Tyre I ever had on the Sport
