Default Vibration under acceleration??

Greetings,

I have been feeling a slight but noticable vibration, somewhat more noticable under acceleration.

I have on the car a set of GY run flats that I got used at a pawn shop. It can very well be the tires but for it to be more noticable under acceleration confuses me. I hink the issue can be one of a few things.

1. Bad tires causing the vibration
2.Hard tires making the issue more noticable.
3.Tune
4.Tranny


If anyone has experienced this, please help a brother out.


Rod

Did the problem occur right after the tire swap?

Every nut, bolt and washer in my car is vibrating when I have it floored. Are you saying there is a vibration in your car that is absent in other C6's you've driven?

no, I have no vibration that I think is abnormal, I have not driven any other C6's, a tire will vibrate at all speeds and get worse as speed increase'es, if your's is just vibrating under hard acceleration, I would venture a guess that it's {for lack of a better word}, the u-joints inside the TQ tube
