New Tires.... Vibration
Just got 19s Falken Azenis ST115 (245/35 & 275/30) and they were mounted and balanced but now I'm feeling every road vibration.... is this normal with 19s or is there a balance problem. The car has Koni/H&R setup as well.

I have 19" Falken Ziex ZE502 and I get a vibration that comes and goes. Usually the shake/vibration is @ 60mphs. I notice the shake/vibration goes away when the tires are warm. It's time for me to buy new tires and Falkens wont be my choice.

I get the vibration at about 55-65 mph and then it goes away at higher speeds. At 100+ mph, it's smooth as silk... go figure! I think it may be just a balancing issue, but then I also noticed that my tire pressure seems a bit high... it's 34 psi all around... shouldn't it be about 30-32? Maybe the excessive pressure is making the tires a bit hard and causing additional vibration... just a thought?
