Fluttering noise and Steering wheel vibration at highway speed

[EngineDweller]

The tires are brand new, bought em 2 weeks ago...bout 300 miles on em...rims are shit though...but it didnt vibrate with the old tires, unknown mileage on them as I just boight the car 2.5 weeks ago. Belts do need replaced so ill try that. Im gonna go back to the place I bought the tires and see why they have so many weights on them. Thanks man!

Zodiac, eventually I plan on upgrading the entire suspension system on the car, so if that is the issue, hopefully the revamp will cure it...idk though. I did read the thread travis referred me to, seems like it can be a paon in the neck with these issues. Well worth it though. Love everything about the car!

Clarification: when I said "belts" I meant the belts in the tires. But WTF the tires are brand new?!! What are they?

OK, you might want to switch the front tires left to right and see if the pull changes. If it does then a belt in the tires has shifted.

They are entry level tires, continentals...not the greatest but being brand new I shouldn't be having this issue and I dont have the $$ right now for a higher grade tire. I'm not good with suspension or tires, so thanks for that clearing that up. I wish it were an engine issue, thats all I do is engine work. I do know that they are direcrional tires...when I did the brakes I thought the tread was all facing the right way, could be wrong though, so ill have to dbl check that...cuz ive been told that could makr it pull as well...

OK if they are directional, then you will have to swap tires front to back and see if the pull changes.

I just looked to confirm if they were directionals...here is what i found. 20140327_221745.jpg1395973196482.jpg

ok so those pictures turned out like crap. the drivers side looks like the tread is going in the right direction (front and rear), whereas the passenger side (side its pulling to) the tread is going in the opposite direction.

I see what you mean. If they are directional, look for an arrow on the side wall. It should point in the direction of rotation to go forward.

[EngineDweller]

Well in that case the passenger side is right and the driver side is wrong. Could that cause pull and vibration?

It might. So get that sorted out, find out why all the weights and hopefully things will be smoother.
