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.
I am also having the exact same issue with these tires. Anything over 60 mph on my first balance was not acceptable amount of vibration. After a re-balance by a better tech it got smoother. However i still feel the vibrations to some extent over 70mph. I was worried that my new wheels were the cause. But with so many people having the same issue, I'm not convinced.

Anyone else? Maybe its a certain size, as it seems my fronts were the worst. 275/35/19F 305/30/19R.
