Slight vibration on steering wheel

05 E500
I was driving the car yesterday and driving in the freeway with 55 to 60 mph, there is a vibration on steering wheel. Below and higher of that speed the vibration will be gone. Idle and stop no vibration.

- 4 new tires from a tire shop (Potenza H rated stock size tires)
- new breaks and rotors from MB dealership and installed by them (2 weeks or so ago)

Any suggestions please.

Thanks.

Request the tire shop or MB dealer “road force” balance each tire/wheel. The MB dealer will use Hunter equipment. You can learn about this system, and check to see if the tire shop uses Hunter by following the link “Locate a GSP9700” here http://www.hunter.com/pub/product/ba...159T/index.htm

Thanks for the info. Looking at your location (N. Scottsdale) I bought the tires from Fletchers and they also installed it. They always give me a good service and discount that's why I brought the car to them.

No doubt your wheels are not balanced properly. Sometimes the balance machines need to be calibrated.
