...i bought some used dunlops(had maybe 95% tread, got a good deal on them)...i mounted them on my rims, and when I accelerate at a certain speed I can feel the car shake a little. It only happens at a certain accelerating speed, any slower it doesnt do it, any faster it doesnt do it either. Anyone know whats wrong here?

 

Are they balanced correctly? Has one of your axles taken a turn for the worst?

my passenger side axle does have a torn boot. Maybe its just a coincidence that the axle went bad the same time I put my tires on?

 

Well, you are going to have to replace that axle soon anyways so replace it and just see if the problem still persists.

 

well, I replaced the axle yesterday. It still shakes just a little bit, only when accelerating. I'm hoping its just my tires arent balanced correctly.

 

If you (or a friend) have another set of wheels and tires known to be okay, try swapping them on and see if the vibration continues. That should tell you whether it's the wheels/tires, or something on your car.
