Perfectly true wheels - what a difference!

Well my tires are the Michelin Pilot whatever’s that have the N3 designation. The fronts have 30k and the rears have 17k miles and they still have some tread left above the wear bars. I haven’t worn out a set of tires yet. The original 18 inch tires died of old age at 27k, the second set of 18 inch rears were replaced due to a sidewall bubble in one so I replaced both. If my wheels are still this true when I get new tires I’ll be in heaven!

Man I'm happy to hear you have no vibration or shimmy. I've been chasing and spending money on vibrations for 2 years. Just had 18 in turbo twist wheels trued up and refinished, and put new Indy 500 tires on. STILL vibrations in the whole car, but steering especially. Went back twice, and they tell me roadforce is 32 lbs on left rear! New tires! I replaced ALL suspension components last year, except the front shocks. Frustrating to say the least! I can only DREAM of a triple digit experience with zero vibration...

I bet you the cause for the vibration are the worn shocks...
