Definitely not a tire balance issue -- it only happens when the clutch is engaged, and you are slowing down (foot entirely off the gas).

Besides, it's RPM-sensitive, not speed-sensitive. Hence, it happens around 2k rpm whether you're in 5th gear or 3rd gear.

But since you brought it up, for comparison's sake, it's quite a bit LESS violent than a car with badly balanced tires.

Thanks for the reply!
