Should I get my tires balanced following track events? Ran the Roval in Charlotte yesterday and I believe (may be in my head) I feel slight vibrations at speeds in excess of 62mph. Thoughts...:shrug:

By the Way. P Zero Neros suck A**. Rears broke free and I ran off into the grass on a turn in.

They're a skinny, average all-season tire on a heavy, powerful car...did you expect much different?

You say you have the PP. If that's the case those are just P-Zeros, not the Nero tire.

IMO the vibration you get is from tire rubber buildup inside the rims and rubber that piles up on the tread. A few hundred miles of driving can flatten the tread even again.

It's amazing how big those chunks of OPR (Other Peoples' Rubber) can sometimes be. And the places they can find their way into.

Thanks gents, I added the P Zeros Nero's as an aftermarket tire for tread life (mistake). I went forward with the balance and was informed one of my front tires had a road force of 29 and the other 20. had them rotated from side to side and while there is still some vibration it feels like its getting better over time.
