I had my brakes (front and back) serviced within the past 5,000 miles, and just had the rear drums replaced 2 days ago (free of charge) when I experienced some squeaking. I then had two tires replaced- the other two tires are under 6,000 miles old- (balancing and allignment included) at a separate …

Make Model Year PLEASE That goes for everyone! Also, which engine and is it front, rear or all wheel drive? It sounds like the new tires are not balanced correctly or are defective. Is the vibration more prominent at the wheel or does it feel more like it’s shaking your chair (feel with your …

When I put two new tires (same size as the OEM tires, 155/80-13) on my wife’s 86 Dodge Colt, the car vibrated badly over 50 mph.

The vehicle is a 1999 Ford Ranger XLT, 2-wheel, rear-wheel drive with 5 speed manual transmission.

Thank you for the response.
