So I just purchased my 2016 R about 3 weeks ago. Love the car but something bugs me about it. It might be nothing but I figure I check to see if anyone else notices this. I drive a lot on the highway and I notice that around 65+mph I feel like the car isn't "smooth". I'm not saying i shouldn't be feeling anything but it doesnt feel normal from what I'm use to. There is no Steering wheel vibration but if it's more of the overall cabin. If I look at my passenger seat you can see it shaking and I feel it too. Like I said it's nothing crazy but still odd. I had it happen to me on my stock wheels and my replacement wheels as well.
Just wanted to see if anyone else had this or if this is normal.
Not an R owner here but have the same issue. It annoys the living crap out of me. I have hankook ventus 1 noble2 something something and Ive noticed they're 500 tread wear, pretty hard. Not sure that any of that could be causing me to feel vibration but I've ran out of options.
Took the car to the dealer = BS- cant replicate. I specifically told them it happens at highway speeds my case ~70 mph, I understand its a bit high but its a valid speed and im almost certain they didn't bother to get on the highway.
I haven't rebalanced the tires but I guess it'll be cheaper than buying wheels and new tires so i'll be giving that a try first.
Took my car to the dealer with VWR springs, removed spacers just to be safe but im 100% sure they're not to blame. The dealer, at least in my case, didn't care about the springs. Its pretty clear the springs don't cause vibration and in my case I feel it under my butt, not steering related. I've also rotated tires with no improvement.
Starting to think its got nothing to do with the tires and its just the damn car.
