Wow, beautiful pics, thanks for sharing !

I replaced my 4 tires today and FINALLY solved the vibration issue above 110 km/h. I went from Cooper (came with the car) to Michelin Sport AS4.

The Cooper's had lots of thread left (7/32) but were probably warped or damaged. I had the wheels balanced multiple times, alignment done, front wheel repaired, suspension checked. No luck.

A local shop here said to replaced the flywheel, it must be out of balance.....yeah sure. A small $2000 repair, which I fortunately did not do. It was the tires.

Anyway my wife is glad that I'll stop complaining about the vibration, which she thought was in my head.

Oh well, at least she lets me play with my toy.
