I just bought two new tires for the winter season and I have had them on for about 3 months now, and now I have a loud vibration that will rattle my driver side mirror, and I can feel it in the pedals, and wheel. but when I turn the wheel to the left slightly or while making a left turn the noise is gone. this is getting real anoying need to fix please help.

 

could possibly be the wheel bearing

 

not to make anyone feel stupid but please make sure your lug nuts are on tight.

if they are, jack up the are and see if there is any play left to right or top to bottom.

if nothing, take wheel off, and see if there is any grease leaking from various suspension components.

post results.

 

Balance problem is my guess. When you turn the wheel you change the rotational force enough to quiet the vibration, similar to a gyroscope's reaction to a change in direction. BTW, snow tires on all 4 corners is the safest way to go, otherwise the *** end will pass you up sometimes. (Don't ask how I know)

 

ya safe with 4 but having just 2 in the front makes driving alot more fun.

balancing would only affect you at higher speeds. so if its happening at low speeds too it could be something else.

 

Does the car pull to one side? Or does the steering feel like its wandering? If so, the alignment could be out, and the noise and vibration you feel could be the tire scrubbing against the road.
