need dome help here

when i drive my car i feel a lot of vibrations from left to right..
i dont know if its from the uneven surface,but driving gets me very tired..
in the same roads i dont get the same vibrations with my bmw 318

my front tires are 225/45/17 while back are 245/40/17
continental contsport3

why back different from front?

you think this difference has to do something with the vibrations?

i checked continental site and they reccomend 28psi front 33 back whilw in the fuek tank says 32 front 33 back..which i should follow??

do you all have this vibrations from left to right?

Different sizes front and back probably means you have wider wheels on the rear. Tyre pressures seem low. I usually run mine about 38-40 with those width tyres but in 18". You could try putting a little more air in them as per your fuel tank and see if it makes a difference to your vibration.

Unless someone else on the forum can offer any ideas I would take it in and get the front wheels aligned and balanced and have the front end looked at.

yeah, I was going to say use the tire inflation on the door, and have your tires balanced.
