Problems with vibration ContiSportcontact2 S60 2001

posted by  someone claiming to be Dutchman on  Wed Mar 30 22:40 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Hi all,

I have since a few weeks the ContiSportcontact2 (2005/55 W) on my 16" Mimas wheels.
Previously I had the former model Sportcontact, with which I was very happy: No vibration no matter what tire pressure (2.3-2.8 bar).

With my present ContiSportcontacts (type 2), I experienced a vibration at several speeds (100 km/h and higher).

After rotating and balancing at the dealership with computer equipment, I was there and wittnesed the "(0,0)" result.

Still the car (steering wheel and chairs) are vibrating. The chief mechanics, who I respect a lot, drove with the car and claims it is the hard surface of the tire which make you feel any irregularity of the road, and it is NOT an unbalance in wheel/tire assembly. Moreover, the pressure had to be reduced to 2.2 bar for a "comfortable" ride.

My question: Who has experience with the ContiSportcontact type 2?

thanks,

Dutch
