Yeah, tell me about it! Now if I can only remember to film what's going on if I happen to experience that again... Hmmmm.

I think that's enough of taking cheap shots at someone who asked a legitimate question. Only one or two folks had anything productive to contribute. Play nice...You are warned.

I agree, the only way you could get the bouncing affect at a certain speed is out of balance tires. This is definitely not normal.

My car bounces when I'm parked with my wife, and I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with tires.





OMG.... I apologize now, but for some reason, I couldn't resist this joke!

Default the right speed

I have never felt that before, or maybe I wasnt really looking for it. I will check though next time I go over some funky pavement on the highway. There was this time though where I got right at the exact speed of 88 mph, next thing you know Im driving around in 1956. Can I get a rim shot please? Is this thing on?

That was a good one. Man, if I knew I was going to get all this c**p I would have kept it to myself. lol I don't think it has anything to do with the tires being out of balance really. It has to do with this certain motion, 'porpoising' as kcobean called it, that gets pretty out of hand unless you slow down or speed up. I'm not joking when I say that it's happened to me at least 3-4 times. D**NIT! BELIEEVVVEE MEEEE!!!!

Speed wobble!! LOL
I was riding a bike down a bridge a like 5 years ago and started going so fast my front tire started wobbling REALLY bad and I flew over the handle bars. Man was not meant to ride on 2 wheels. LOL

This is probably something different but I just thought I'd bring up a painful memory from my past. LOL

Or, you could heed the original warning and stop the unproductive, derogatory posts. Say something productive and helpful to the OP's concerns, or DO NOT POST. (Basically what I'm trying to say Warren, is save the wise-cracks for the mid-A. )
