Just got four new tyres fitted and balanced the other day , still getting some annoying steering wheel vibration once you go over 80,

Wondering if the fronts are not balanced right

Try a different kwik-n-krappy place. I had a similar thing last year and their machine was out by 10 grammes. Re-balanced at a different place and tranquility returned.

Could also be bushes, rim out of true, bearings etc etc.

Just Passed it's MOT the day after the tyres were fitted surely they would have picked up if anything was wrong with the bushes ....

I've had exactly the same thing, I've been to several places still not right, mine seem to be mainly back wheels. The strange thing for me is re-balancing fixes it for a bit then it reverts back to vibration.

What tyres did you had fitted, I had pirelli's I'm wondering if it is something to do with them

Are they sticking the wights to a clean surface on the wheels?

A lot of places can't be arsed, so you end up throwing a weight or two relatively quickly  Java with Ivory 2006 4.2 Supercharged. 23.5k miles - NOW SOLD!

It is easier to balance normal sized wheels + tires...

Testing done on a private road ........

Well - don't drive on that PRIVATE road then MICK - its making your steering wheel vibrate!

Meant to say problem sorted about the vibration took the car a few weeks back to National who took off all four wheels and re-balanced them with all new weights.
