Tires out of true permanently - harmful?xfimpg 08-04-2009, 07:32 PM Hi Everyone I have 4 tires, that due to a bad balancing machine over a long period of time, have become out of true permanently. Still driveable, but irritating because the whole car shakes. My question is are there any consequences to keep these tires, ie. harm done to ball joint areas, additional vibrations transmitted to the brakes when stopping?

It's not really very safe , be careful if you continue to use them . Good luck ! nmikmik 11-15-2009, 10:13 AM +1 on ^ It's very unsafe to keep driving it and you are better off getting a set of (i am usually against them, but if money are tight :rolleyes:) used tires. Depending on the miles on your car the wheel bearings will probably go first. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
