How many experience...

Cold tires that vibrate until they are warmed up? (Usually about 3 miles+-)
Or is this just related to the wonderful Good?years that I purchased last spring when it was nice & warm (NO vibration whatsoever)?

Re: How many experience... (rbhighrise)

It's water in the tires. Usually from the person who mounted them -OR- from using an air compressor with water in the tank when they are inflated.

When the tires heat up, it turns to foam and evenly disperses.

Have the tires unmounted, cleaned out and remounted. Preferrably from the shop that mounted them in the first place.
