Slight vibration at 100+ mph (On the track)

civicsifan07 · 01-29-2008, 06:15 PM

Just a question to all you si owners. How does your car feel at 100 plus mph.... i was wondering because i get a light vibration but nothing major. Is this normal or should i be worried? I am running the stock Summer tires that came with the car.

Thanks

What are you doing going 100+ for? #2? - J/K.

Stock tires aren't generally rated for speeds of 80+. That might be why you are getting a vibration.

they are the pilot exalto's.... rated for 168 +.. I think either W or Y.

bump for the OP

- this is for on the track. Title edited.

how many miles do you have on the car? have you hit any bumps lately you may have a tire slightly out of balance? i've never had any vibration at 100+ on the track and i've got the all season tires.

WTF?? My 95 Civic Coupe came with H rated (up to 130mph) tires.

What modern car comes with tires that are only good for 80mph?

Anyhow, my car is perfectly stable up to about 155.

it's normal, get better tires and better suspension works then it will improve a bit more.

Well there are two forms of wheel/tire balancing:
Normal balance for normal speeds
High Speed Balancing for high speeds

You need to find someone who does high speed balancing and a run out.
