Eagle Run Flats
Purchased a 2000 coupe last winter and having my first experience with Goodyear Eagle "run flats". I've heard that the run flats are going to be a little rougher and I can feel a slight vibration, nothing major, but more than I would expect. Shop can't find anything worng, but didn't take them off either. Friends tell me that its all in my head.... Any experience out there?

They probably just need to be balanced.
If a tire isn't worn perfectly even accross the tread width it will vibrate.
Does it feel like it is the front or the rear?

Re: Eagle Run Flats (msuc5vette)
yea, I feel it more in the front end. New tires, maybe a bad install. I'll take it back for a re-balance and tell them to stop giving me that "they will run a little rougher" line...thanks.

Re: Eagle Run Flats (VetteJet)
Welcome to the Forum! It could be all of the above: in your head, balance problem, or alignment. It could also be a bad tire! Not all of them are perfect; I had a Michelin that could never be balanced properly and had a bad vibration over 60 mph. I changed tires and the car is now a pleasure to drive!! :yesnod: :)
