Trying to track down a vibration the car has been making between 65-80km/h.
Wondering if a tire could be out of round/bent but still balance properly?

Re: Could a bent wheel still balance properly?
It may balance properly, but the bend will cause vibrations from being out of round

If you can, put the bent one on the right rear, it should help lessen the vibrationHers 2009 Audi A4 6sp manual

Re: Could a bent wheel still balance properly?
I figured that, but didnt think it would be significant enough to make a difference, hence the question

Bent wheel can come out balanced if the don't road force balance it. Road force would catch it.Stefan

Re: Could a bent wheel still balance properly?
Any shop can road force balance a wheel, as long as their balancer is capable. Put worst wheels the furthest away from the driver so you don't notice the vibration as much.JustinComment

You also don't want that wheel on front as the vibrations translate right into your hands via the steering rack.Name: Brent
