Absolutely! 9 times out of 10, a vibration in the steering wheel at highway speeds is caused by out of balance tires or cheap Chinese knockoffs.

Not necessary a "Chinese knockoffs", one or more out of balance tire(s) and/or alignment issue(s) can cause that.

I know Chinese made stuffs sometimes can be bad some harshly label every Chinese stuffs might seems a bit...... harsh.....





On the topic, it should be smooth, I got mine to 110 and it feels safe and smooth.

Agreed but when it comes to high performance tires, I have never heard of, seen or experienced a good Chinese tire brand. Yes, I am talking from experience.

PS: To be clear, I’m not referring to known and well-established name brand tires that have a manufacturing plant in China. I’m referring to unknown Chinese brands actually copying major brand tires and selling them at a fraction of the price. “You get what you pay for” has never been more true in this case.
