    My '04 I4-auto Accord had a wicked vibration at 80-100km/h until the dealer rebalanced the tires... now the vibration is at 100-120km/h (highway speeds).

    I assume Honda dealers know how to balance tires so should I be looking for problems elsewhere?

    The car has 500km's on it now... one week old

    Hi,
    Two things on tires, dynamic balancing and trueness. some tires are not
    really round.

    I forgot to mention the dealer swapped new 15" aluminum rims for the stock
    steel rims... I noticed a small read dot on the tire... wonder if that has
    anything to do with balance...

    Go to a TIRE STORE and have your tires computer balanced. Betcha' a buck,
    if they do it right the vibration will be gone...
