Unhappy Tire vibration!

I'm trying to not drive the car until I get this sorted. My next balance is going to be an "on the car" balance in Long Beach.

This is something that really bugs the **** out of me, and I don't want my ball joints wearing prematurely.

My stockers were smooth.
I am having this same issue. The 050s were stiff, but smooth. On good pavement it felt like I could run to the speed limiter w/ total confidence. Not so much now. The installer is someone who I've trusted for 20 yrs and will definitely be trying to work this out asap. Wish I hadn't put the miles on these tires, but couldn't feel the slight vibration at the low speeds @ home. I just hope it can be resolved w/ weight adjustment.
