Hey guys, I was driving my car home yesterday and noticed that the faster I go the more vibration I have go throughout the vehicle. It starts at 55 and goes till (the fastest I've been up to so far) 80 and holds a steady shake. It's not killer vibrations, but enough to make me think it's a bent wheel, bad 5th and 6th gear, or I threw a weight. I'm gonna get my wheels and tires balanced tomorrow. Any help is welcome.

you don't say what year the car is, but if it's an LT1 car it's likely the infamous driveshaft vibration. There's a TSB out on the problem. I didn't visit the links Kevin put up, but I suspect they reference the driveshaft vibration.Dave M

Well, it got worse and worse. At 20mph, I thought I was going to jump out of my seat. Turns out that the Dunlop SP5000 tire (right rear) was seperating. AKA tread seperation, IT WAS BAD!!! I took it over and got new Kumho Ecsta 711 tires, so far, they are great. Does anybody know the tread life I can get out of them?Comment

From what I hear the tread on those tires is not so good. Im not a tire guy but wolfman always tells us to steer clear of those. I hear good things about Cooper though, so maybe the next time you need to get a decent set of tires for a good price check those out. Use the search feature as i think you could find some good info on finding tires.-Dan
