I like many other CL'ers have the 60/80ish highway vibration. I have tire road force balancing and had two brand new tires replaced to no avail. I even took it to a local CL friendly shop who did a great job balancing my wheels and tires but did not eliminate the issue completely (although it helped).

Does anyone NOT have this issue? What wheel and tire combo are you running (OEM and Aftermarket)? I am very curious as I would love to spend some money and see this issue go away.

EDIT:

I added a poll to this to get an idea of how many people do not have this very common issue.

The only time I didn't have it at all was when I had stock 17's. Then I switched to 20's and vibration problem started. I changed the outer tie rods, lower ball joints, and steering rack bushings. The problem persisted so I thought it was the 20's. I bought 3GS 18" wheels and still the problem still occurs today. It just one of those things I will have to live with..... or spend probably $1000 in addition to the other parts to get it solved.

if u got after market rims with low profile tires .. u could have bent a rim ..

If thats the case then almost EVERONE has a bent rim. This question has been asked many of times here on CL. I've seen causes warped rotors to solutions by tightening some tensioner.

So yeah, who doesnt have it and how?

I had a little occasional vibration with the stock 16's, sometimes it'd vibrate a little at around 50, it didn't happen everytime or even the majority of times I was at those speeds. I haven't noticed any yet since lowering and putting on 20's. I'm actually quite surprised. I guess I'm getting lucky.

So....whats your Tire and Wheel combo consist of?

no vibrations on stock 17+snow tires
vibrations on 19 inches, then a alignment later, though it can't get into the OEM specs, there's no more vibrations.

nothing below 60mph anyways.... I haven't tried any higher yet...

3-piece L-Sportline Model IV's, 20x8.5 and 20x9.5, Falken FK452's 245/35 and 275/30. The front tires are new, I don't think they did anything special balancing them, the rears were used but good tread when I bought them (I'm guessing they aren't really that relevant to this anyway).

I've only had them on for a couple weeks, maybe 600-700 miles. Like I said, I haven't done anything special, I'm just considering myself real lucky.

i didn't have it at first but then when i took them off and put them back on i had the vibration i think it might be when the tires get worn more then the vibration happens

Easy cowboy.

Lots of talk of sizes and solutions on your thread but I am looking for actual Tire brand/model & Wheel brand/model information. not just the usual "how to fix it" info that can be found through searching.

Thanks hommie.

when i step on the brakes i hear like a road noise dont know if its the alignment or tire stock 17" rims tires are 235/45/17 can any one help me out

Debonair

Have your brakes checked. If it was the wheels/tires it would happen all the time, not just when you use your brakes.

Easy cheap fix for the vibration problem is to go old school and have your tires spin balanced while they are mounted on the car.....very few places do this but shops that do a lot of aftermarket wheel installations sometimes do. I get all 4 done for $60 and not even a trace of shudder/shimmy/vibration of any kind at any speed.

How come this can be done?????????
