I actually misspoke. The vibration only starts at 65mph and gets worse as I approach 80. The fact that it gets so much worse at higher speeds but they run smooth at lower speeds tells me wheel weights too. The tires would have another Summer on them except that the inside edge of the tread is bald due to the neg. camber I run. Usually this doesn't happen as much because I run zero toe, but I didn't check the pressure on them all Summer and I just did and it was 32PSI all around. I pumped it back up to 40PSI so hopefully I have moved the contact patch closer to the center of the tread.
