New WRX Owner

[Sinister]

usually tire balance, could be a bent wheel though. Take it back to the dealership in my opinion...

Welcome by the way!

Thanks. Nice to hear from you all. Although my car has less than 100 miles I seem to be getting a bit of vibration up front at around 65-70mph. Is this a tire balance problem or something else? I'm completely new to WRX and AWD vehicles and their handling aspects and quirks. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I had a bit of tire vibration when I first picked up my WRX as well but it went away quickly after I put some miles on it. Just keep an eye on it and if it doesn't improve then I recommend you head over to the dealer. Congrats to you as well!

My steering and tire feel all even out after 1200 miles; mostly highway. Just had the summer tires removed today and all-season tires (lessor Kumho 4X tires) installed. I will post a report on how well the new tires feel after I get to drive the car some on the weekend. I commute every day on my BMW K1600GT so the car is just my all weather vehicle used mostly for trips and shopping runs.

Thank you for your input. I feel a little better reading your comments. I called the dealer and am heading over at the end of the week to have them take a look just to be safe. All your advice is greatly appreciated.

I have a CBR954 and tried going novice in WERA, but man, some of those guys are fast and I'm not small and light like most of those jockeys!
I pretty much just stick with tracks days now.

Yep, I found WERA was much faster than the other regional race orgs as well as CCS. Bet you would find "slower" competition if you raced a SV650. Agreed on track days, safer, slower, etc. O to be young again....
