ReplaceReplaceWheel /tire noise, vibration and harshness concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected by acceleration,
coasting or decelerating Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more than one speed A vibration that is affected by the
engine rpm, or is eliminated by placing the transmission in Neutral is not related to the tire and wheel As a general rule, tire and wheel
vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel assemblies Vibrations felt in the seat or floor are related to the
rear tire and wheel assemblies This can initially isolate a concern to the front or rear
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels There are several symptoms that can be caused by damaged or worn tire and
wheels Perform a careful visual inspection of the tires and wheel assemblies Spin the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or
radial runout Refer to the tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions
Wheel and tire diagnosisRapid wear at the center Rapid wear at both shoulders Wear at one shoulder
• Center-tread down to fabric due to
excessive over inflated tires
• Lack of rotation
• Excessive toe on drive wheels
• Heavy acceleration on drive
• Under-inflated tires
• Worn suspension components
• Excessive cornering speeds
• Lack of rotation
• Toe adjustment out of specification
• Camber out of specification
• Damaged strut
