Why does my Suzuki Bolan vibrate at higher speeds—is it related to tire pressure imbalance?

When I drive at speeds over 60–70 km/h, I feel vibrations in the steering and cabin. The tires are new, but I haven’t checked pressure in a while. Could unbalanced o r mismatched pressure be causing this issue?

Yes, tire pressure imbalance can be a factor in high-speed vibrations, especially in a lightweight van like the Bolan. But it’s not the only reason.

Vibration at higher speeds may be due to:

Uneven tire pressure, causing imbalanced rotation o r wobbling.

Tire imbalance – weight distribution is off, and tires need balancing.

Bent rims o r improper wheel alignment.

Worn suspension components like tie rods o r shocks, which amplify vibration.

Start with:

Check and correct tire pressure to factory recommendations.

Get wheel balancing and alignment done especially if tires are new.

Inspect for rim bends o r tire deformities.

If vibration continues, get a mechanic to check undercarriage components for wear o r damage.
