After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

    After a long drive on the weekend, and noticing some pronounced but inconsistent vibration at speed, I thought of this thread and checked the Goodyear NCTs on my Golf 2.0 TDi, and lo, there does appear to be some bulging/rippling where the sidewall meets the tread. What chance have I of getting Barloworld Mascot to fix this? I didn't buy the tyres from Goodyear after-all, but from the dealer ...

      I would definitely ring Goodyear customer service. They helped me, and where very friendly. Look also at my ammended, original message. My new set of Goodyears NCT's don't show any bulging at all.

        I had vibration at the front from the day one on our Golf, fitted with Goodyear tyres (made in South Africa). I took it to Bob Jane for balancing and also to check roundness of the tyres and two of them were not circle but ellipses. They replaced them with the new ones. Vibration was gone.

          After a driver from Sydney to Canberra for the National Folk Festival, there's definitely an issue. Very heavy vibration at around 80km/h, and again at 110. All four tyres seem to have the same issue. I'm very surprised this wasn't picked up during dealer preparation - isn't this what we're supposed to be paying for in dealer-delivery charges et al? Ringing up the dealer in the morning ...

            Ive used Goodyear F1's more than any other tyre and not had and problems with them at all.

            Also, goodyear offer pro-rata tyre insurance, for about an extra $8 per tyre. If yr tyr is damaged, including if you hit a kerb etc (ie yr fault), they replace it under yr policy, and you only pay a proportion according to wear.

              wheels need balancing. not to do with the tyres.

                This is beyond a simple rebalance, I think - it requires Elvish healing. Or some tyres with non-buckled sidewalls.
