1998 Cadillac Seville SLS review from North America
"New ones are pricey"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far nothing wrong with the car.
General comments?
The car is great. Fast, handles well, drives smooth and is comfortable. I have just purchased it (an immaculate used 1998 Seville, 72,000 miles) from my neighbor. Very happy with the car, he took impeccable care of it. He just purchased a brand new Seville. When he got the 98', he went through the same tire vibration as everybody talks about (dealer replaced parts and pieces, but to no avail). Using the dealers Hunter GSP9700 balancer (that is able to account for road force) they solved the problem with new "hand picked" tires. The car has no vibration now.
He picked up his new Seville in Cleveland, OH and drove it back to Memphis, TN. Yes, the vibration was present! Went to the dealer and the Hunter, after 3 tires or so he has no vibration. Both cars run on Michelin's.
To say these cars don't have a problem with delicate/critical tire balance would be an omission of obvious facts (far too many postings of the same problem). I don't believe it has anything to do with tire brand
