After 130km...
Well... my c200k usually starts vibrating like hell after 130km I have no idea why this happens. However, some people told me that if i got 'new' tires it would get rid of the problem, but i remember that when i first got these tires the car also vibrated at 130km+
I already tried re-balancing the wheels, but it still didnt get rid of the problem.
Any ideas?

Its not your tires, it could be your steering. I had the same problem with a chevy first thing i was told: the car shouldn't be going that fast...lol...second thing was the rack and pinnion as well as the bushings were replaced/fixed

Do you feel it just in the steering wheel, just in your butt, or both?

are the wheels in good condition, if they are slightly bent, it will cause vibration at high speed
