Those with 275 or wider front tires, please check in
Ok, so I put some new wheels/tires on the car, and am having a vibration in the front, that we can't figure out. The new front tires are 275/35/19. Here is the problem: at highway speeds 60-80mph I get a slight vibration in the wheel - not completely smooth like the oem package. I confirmed it was not a car issue by putting the OEM tires/wheels back on (absolutely smooth ride). We have already replaced one of the tires (runout was bad), and the wheel/tire package has been road force balanced a few times. FYI, the wheel width is 9.5. And yes, it has hubcentric rings (2 different sets tried). One suggestion the seller had was that the front tires are too wide and that may be causing the issue; option 2 is the wheel is bad (which I think is the issue). I need some feedback from those who have a 275 or wider tire on the front and have you ever had no vibrations? Please chime in, thanks.
