    Arrow Wheel Balancing?

    Okay... so i just got 2 new tires in the rear mounted...
    now my backend is acting like an ass and doing its own thing... sliding side to side and what not...

    could that be because they werent balanced properly or something?

    Could be...usually its just round rumble at certain speeds, but maybe if its REALLY bad it might do this?

    Yea, it could be, but you said sliding side to side huh. Well you checked your lug nuts by any chance?

    lugnuts or what size tire u get? u go did u go with a lower priced tire?.

    all that shit means is if u went with a tire with a lower speed rating and or a softer sidewall. that can cause that splooshiness lol i just made a word

    They feel squirmy right now because the tires are brand new, and have alot of tread so it will give you a squirmy feel on the road. Once the tread goes down a bit it will feel better, if it's unbalanced the car will vibrate at HWY speeds.. but I'm pretty sure its what I said in the beginning.

    moving side to side sounds like 1 of your wheels might not be sitting flush to the hub. i would try and loosen ur lug nuts and tighten then back up again, making sure u go in a star patter of course. now if the wheels felt like they were more on the lines of bouncing then i would say that they wernt balanced properly
