I have steel wheels with new Vredestien 165 /15 tires 32 psi .Front rims indicated .040 runout and both backs are around .100 ,slightly over the 3/32 max per my Chilton handbook.
Car tracks straight coasting , accelerating and braking but has a severe wobble that starts at 65+,feeling like a tire is going flat.My wheel run out seems most likely the cause.
I am planning either better steel wheels or maybe mags ,but am wondering if there may be something else going on that I overlooked.Lugnuts are tight.front bearings are adjusted wih slightest noticeable play .I have weak rear driver side spring .
Front suspension,steering etc is all new.I set the toe with string so this could be off,but handling below 65 is great.
Any thought s appreciated,
Tom
