Question for Nitto Invo owners - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Kendell347 · 03-07-2011, 02:39 PM

I recently purchased a set of new rims and Nitto Invo tires which came premounted and balanced. When I mounted them on the car and took it on the highway, I had a bad vibration (in the steering wheel and seat), I took it to a friend to have it re-balanced, rebalancing helped but they cant seem to figure out why I still have a slight vibration. They were thinking its because of the tread on the invos or a slight deviation in the rim production (not perfectly round). Just wondering do any Invo owners also have a slight vibration (being that they are not touring tires)?

Zero vibration issues on my Invo tires, and I have them on a few cars. You may need to find someone else to balance them. When they are spinning on the machine, check the wheels for runout (wobbling side to side or up/down) at the lip edge. Could be a defective wheel or defective tire.

I had the shop that rebalanced the rims document everything. They notated that 3 out of 4 wheels have wheel hops. Right front wheel is the worst. Which would probably explain the vibration up front?

What kind of balancing are they doing? Road forced balancing is commonly used with nitto.

I know they came from a shop that used Road Force machines, and i'm pretty sure that's what my friend at STS uses too.

I am looking at getting the Invo tires also. I would like to know pro's/con's and what they compare to the Pirelli tires and any other important information you think I should know, thanks.

Did the wheels include hubcentric rings? RUFF wheels are not Camaro specific and require them.

Yes, and the rings were installed
