Strange vibration

[Da_Bagel]

I have just bought an 87 Supra, non-turbo. When my dad drove the car to our house, he said there was vibration going on. He said it might be the tires. And then I replaced my front left tire and and the vibration got even worse. It is then obvious that the tires had something to do with the woobling. I am wondering if anyone give me there opinions of what is causing the vibration.

was the replacement wheel balanced before being put on?

tires can make a huge difference in the way a car handles, make sure all the tires are balanced and that they are the same brand and tread design, i had to throw on 4 different tires on my 89 turbo cause i was in a bind and the thing rides and vibrates terrible so i know first hand what your talking about

yeah, i fixed the problem. It was the tires. One of them had a really nasty bump on it. The guy i bought the car form gave me crappy tires. Thanks for your advice everyone.
