Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual / Whels, Tires, Whel Alignment / Handling Problems / Vibration / Vibration, Causes for Vibration

This slight imbalance cannot yet be felt in the steering wheel, but it is present. It increases the tire wear and consequently reduces the service life of the tire.
