Scat Pack Widebody R/T Factory tires - Road Force balance

321 Views 5 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  Forestvillechallenger
Has anyone experienced any issues with their Pirelli tires from the factory requiring road-force balancing due to vibrations at highway speeds?
Car: 2022 WB, Scat Pack R/T.

I have had to get one tire road-force balanced, and the issue appears to still linger, so I will have to get it done again.

I wanted to know if my second visit stems from a poor initial balance job, or if these issues can reoccur and require a second balancing.

Thanks!

Check the Tire for Separation, Check the Lug Nut Torque, Air Pressure, Check Wheel for being Damaged making sure its not bent.

Thanks, but those possible mounting issues are not the proximate cause, nor the wheel because I have not damaged it.

The dealership did the initial repair with a road-force balance job, and the car drove fine for about 3 days, since this past Tuesday.

I am thinking that the technician may have overlooked a detail in this job (did not properly run the machine or do other related tasks), but I could be wrong and the tire is defective.

This is why I was wondering if tires that are road-force balanced are corrected more than once within a reasonable amount of time between repairs.
The p zeros suck I would put some michelin pilot sport 4s on asap

Have run Pirelli tires on a couple of cars for a total of over 200K miles and they were fine.

A road force balanced tire/wheel that runs smooth then this smoothness deteriorates and (listing a few biggies) assuming it is not leaking air (which is easy enough to check/eliminate) and you have not bumped the tire up against a curb or run over a curb cutting a turn into/out of a drive way too sharp or the wheel has not lost any weights or the tire is not spinning on the wheel points a very fat finger at a bad tire.

If you take the car in and have the wheel/tire checked for balance and it needs adjusting that would have to be confirmation the tire is bad.

had that problem with my 2019 scatpack widebody after several months of taking it back to the dealer after force balancing all 4 tires they replaced one tire. it was better but still is vibrating a little. this was all going on with just 500 miles on the car.
