   hi
   
   on motorways and i get to about 60-70 the stearing wheel vibrates like hell, and the accelarator vibrates.
   
   i have an x reg saxo furio 1.4.
   
   is this normal, it handles worse than my punto on motorways lol

   Yeah just ask them to balance them when they change the tyres.

   I had mine balanced and they charge you... your looking at about £6 a wheel, unless you have VTR and its £8 and not every place does it because they need a special attachment. it shouldn't be too expencive though! and it will drive awesome aftwerwards! (Y)

   saying this your right, but most places, will have the attachment set up for VTR wheels, as they are the common ones they will get it. so its only a 10 second change over to get them sorted!
   
   i wouldnt worry about it tbh!
   just when you get the new rubbers, say make sure you balance them too!
