- The Tiger is doing real well. I had it out for a bit more spirited driving this weekend. I got it up to 80MPH at one point. I noticed considerable front end vibration and cowl shake at that speed. I

- Mine did Frank when I first got the car. Same thing any time I reached around 55-60 the steering wheel would shake and the car wanted to wander to the right. I don't know if your situation will be di

- One thing I have been meaning to ask about is the lugs on the wheels. I have stock wheels and wheel studs and what I assume to be stock wheel lugs. The wheel lugs almost seem too small for the relief

- My Tiger has always been smooth even at 120 mph, top speed on a race track. First you need to know that your wheels and tires are in good shape and balanced, then you need to have the front end alig

- I had very similar problems with mine when I got it running. Mine would vibrate like crazy at around 45-70 mph. I had it aligned and that did not help much. Then I changed the tires, which were just

- Frank, mine does not, but I have the Dale A kit with the MG Midget R&P and MGB steering arms. Are you sure everything is tight, tires good and balanced. Larry

- Frank, if you trailer your car, keep the tires. Otherwise pitch them as fast as you can. They are not only dead, but dangerous, especially at speed. Tires are good for about 6-7 years, and they get o

- When our cars exhibit that kind of behavior at any speed it indicates something is wrong. First, I strongly agree with the other list responses: old tires are dangerous and they can be unpredictable

- Hi all, new tires solved the vibration problem. Very smooth at 80MPH and still good at 90 where I deferred to my engine brake in regime. I went with the Sumitomo HTR200s in the 175/13 size. I need mo
