Is there something wrong with my tires?

Hi There,

I have an 04/6MT TL and ever since the dealer did the first tire rotation nobody seems to be able to balance my tires properly. I always get vibration at various speeds above 60 mhp. I have the Bridgestone tires on the car, and the car has almost 13K miles on it. Anybody had similar experience? What do I need to do to get the tires replaced by the dealer?

Do a search for "driveline vibration" or "flat spotting". These threads will help determine if it's your tires (flat spotting) or your driveline & hopefully help you resolve youre issue.BTW, check your lug nuts.

you are not alone, many have experienced this. just do a search for Turanza or EL42, this is a result of bad tires. I would take it back to your dealer and complain, they may put reformulated EL42s on your car, but with 13K miles, they may not replace them, in which case you would have to purchase new tires, I recommend Michelin Pilot Sport A/S, Pirelli PZero Nero M+S, or Falken Ziex 512s. Good luck!
