    Balancing is probably out, and get the tracking checked too.

    Wheels are out of balance

    usually if someone fits the tyres they will balance the wheels as well. If the wheel balance is out you get the vibration.

    Take it back and demand they sort it

    (Is it a Peugeot by the way?)

    OK

    Take it to any reputable tyre place and get the balance sorted. If you are feeling lucky you could try just removing the existing weights - which will be in the wrong places and see if it improves enough

    it also had a knocking at the front end which was fixed by turning the volume on the radio up!!
