Vibration when accelerating following cambelt change

Everything on the Volvo S80. Sometimes called an "executive car", the S80 was Volvo's top-of-the-line passenger car. P2 platform.

Old tyres look worse than I thought they were once they’re off the rims!

Tracking checked, came out ok, it looks like it was wrong and someone had it sorted but not before it had taken the outside edge off of each tyre

The most amazing thing though after driving to work this morning is I noticed my vibration has now gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It must have been caused by the tyres, why it only happened during acceleration I still don’t know, but the main thing is it’s gone. This has been really good news for me as I was getting progressively more annoyed at the car as the vibration was making driving it an ordeal rather than relaxing.

Could a mod change the title to include SOLVED so it can hopefully help someone in the same situation
