OK. Fair enough. But I'm still concerned that running the drive train in the air is not the way to view this sort of problem.
First port of call should still be the kumho dealer (rather than the Hyundai dealer) you might get some freebies
its possible your tyres are older than your car. old stock. eye30 [lester] had a problem with his tyres,it turned out to be old stock tyres. i think.
Tyre code, DOT YO9P YA3G 5110 Size 195/65R15 91H
The workshop forman told me that the geometry of the i30 is to blame for the car wandering about and its normal, and that the vibration is normal for a diesel,

I assume the workshop foreman is at a Hyundai dealership. If so, he really needs to be reported. Those sorts of misleading and inaccurate statements are totally irresponsible and unprofessional. Even if they were genuine problems, to admit them to a customer is unforgiveable.If for no other reason than to prevent him using such an excuse with a customer who has no mechanical knowledge, he should be reported.I'd be e-mailing the dealer principle and copying Hyundai Australia - regardless of the outcome of your problem.
That rumble sounds like uneven tyre wear from the alignment problem which was causing the problem.
