I have been experiencing a minor vibration at all speeds in '91 300E with 112k miles. Had tires re-balanced, rotated without any resulting change in problem. Shop stated that wear seemed fine all around. Yesterday I noticed some cupping on a right rear. Any one know what causes this or what the vibration problem might be. Alo can hear tire noise (almost like a thump) that changes with speed. Thanks.

Hi Zoni -

I've got this going on with my '93 190 2.6 as well. No idea what causes it, no idea how to fix it short of replacing the tire.

Zoni,
We are more than happy to help you in here. However,this may be an issue larger than simply the tires. Your best bet might be to post this in Tech Help and let the professional techs do what they do best.

Best of luck...Lee
