Replying to: tpacar79 (May 30, 2006 6:13 am) I picked up a new 2008 RRS SC about 2 months ago. I like the car but one really annoying problem. At about 50mph to 60mph a vibration in the steering wheel. I took it to the dealer and they "road force balanced" the tires for free. It helped very little so I took it back there. They stated the problem must be a "tire flat spot" from this heavy suv sitting on a lot during the summer. After the some screaming, Land Rover replaced all 4 tires. Unfortunately, the problem is still there. The dealer is now blaming it "low profile, 20 inch" tires that provide a lot of feedback. I don't buy it since the steering wheel vibration is only between 50-60mph. Anyone else had this issue? Could it be the alignment? Could it be the Continental tire design? This issue is driving me crazy. Replies to this message: 96ce (Dec 31, 2008 5:34 pm)

Replying to: arlingtonva1 (Dec 30, 2008 6:04 pm) I also have a 2008 RRs SC and have noticed the vibration. I have been back to the dealership 3 times and have had the wheel / tires balanced twice. I also bought a new set of both wheels and tires and the issue is still there. Please let me know if anyone has been able to get this resolved. I really like this vehicle, but this problem has really got me down. Thanks.
