Goodyear LS2 run flats on gl350 bluetec
Is anyone riding on Goodyear LS2s on your GL350?
our GL has those as tires and I noticed the following:
1. When driving below 60 mph, the comfort is the smoothest I've ever felt in a vehicle.
2. But when going above 60 mph, I can feel a wobbling that will not go away.
3. I took the vehicle to our dealership and they replaced the tires, but then problem is still there.
Wondering if anyone has the same tires and if you are experiencing the same problem.
Now I am debating whether if I want to keep the same tires or have them change it or to a different kind of run flats.
Thanks

Sounds like a wheel balancing issue. The large, low-profile tires are tough to balance. I've had to get mine done multiple times until perfect. Usually, they have to use a Road Force Wheel Balancer to get the job done right.

Agreed. You should be able to pass 90mph or higher without any vibration issues at all. I had this issue when I put new tires on my old Cayenne S. Balancing is really sensitive.
