-Ordered the wheels and tires from Discount Tire Co. With factory specs
-There are no signs of misalignment (tires are wearing evenly)
-Took it back to the tire shop and they rebalanced the tires and said they were fine to begin with

I am overly confused what could be the issue.

I am running Hankook Evo v12. Could it be the tires?

Any inputs?


Im confused. how did you move up 2 inches in rim diameter but stay with factory specs?

Either one or both front tires is out of balance, or the discount people sold you a rim that is not round.

i meant factory offsets.

Im running 255 front (coming from 225 stock) and 285 rear right now.

The weird thing is the vibration goes away after the tires are warmed up. thats why im suspecting the tires are the issue.

Btw, Discount tire is very professional and has hundreds stores across the states and I never had an issues with them before.
