2004 Vibe Tires Not Balancing - Douglas Performance GT-H

[highvibe]

Hey Vibers!I just purchased a used 2004 AWD Vibe and am getting vibrations when I hit 60mph or more. I had the dealer balance the tires before I drove it off the lot becused it was obvious they were off and then again at a well repected dealer where I live. The dealer in my area said these tires would NOT BALANCE! Has anyone esle had this issue? Upon a little investigation I found that these tires come from WalMart (a place I do not patron). Wondering if I am just looking at 4 crappy quality tires? Has anyone else had balancing issues on their Vibe with other tires? (I did see a couple of posts speaking to balancing) Any recommendations on good quality all seasons? Anyone using the GoodYear Triple Tread?Many Thanks!Antonio

Just purchased Triple Treads to replace the pathetic excuse for a tire gm put on my vibe. Sad when a tire is already starting to wear at only 7000kms n a new car!Anyways i got ride of the ****ty Continentals and put the new Triple Treads on my vibe!Had to put 205 60 16 casue it would have been an 8 week wait for the 205 55 16.The tires are a zillion times better! Better handling, very smooth riding, good in both rain and snow!Good luck!

I replaced the RS-As with TrippleTreads. It is hard for me to believe that Goodyear makes both and yet the TrippleTread is so much quieter. I went with the 225/50/16, which is identical to the original height, and luv'em. Discount Tire got'em in 2 days.

I just put Comfortreds on my 05 Matrix XR...I originally wanted the Trips but they are a no no with steelies and hubs due to the rim protector Was real sour on the Comfys at first but they are settling in a bit and smoothing out(breaking in?) About 700 miles on em....still may opt for the Triples if I get some alloys...have 30 day trial periodYou guys digging the Tripltreds? Good ride quality, not too loud?
