Those with 275 or wider front tires, please check in

When you have a wider contact patch, you are going to feel the road more. Still, there shouldn't be any major vibration. I have gone through a set of 265 and 285 on my car, none of them vibrate much more than stock, but I could feel the road more.

Watch from the 10 sec mark to 16 sec. I had one hand on the wheel going 80+, no noticeable vibration back and forth.

If your tire guy is correct, all the sports cars would be vibrating like a vibrator since they all have huge tires!

I'm in agreement, I've had wider then stock tires on many vehicles, and the vibration has never been there or worse then stock. Although, I don't get vibrations on my cars, when I get new tires - they are always good. I do think it is the wheels.
