Kumho EXTA ASX and 50mph vibration
I got them recently and had the wheels aligned at the stealership. They also did a road force balancing on all the tires. I still get some vibrations at the wheel at between 40-60 mph. It steadies out past that and I think happens more when tires are cold.
Anyone else notice this?

how do u guys like those tires? other than this issue you';re talkin about...
btw, that is probably the tires flatspotting overnight. Kumho ASX i heard tend to get flatspots, especially 18" or larger tires and with heavy cars.
as mentioned above, keep the PSI above 42

I like the tires overall. Cost next to nothing, $485 mounted all 4 and seem fairly quiet and smooth on the highway. I read reviews of these tires here and also on tirerack and the general view was that they were pretty decent and offer decent tread wear.
The vibration problem was a real concern, but will try inflating to 40 psi and see if that solves it. Thanks for the tip!

Tires
I've had my E55 for three years and have tried all different brands of tires,
After trying Kumho, I vowed I would not put them on my lawn tractor. I trashed a set in 7,000 miles, as did a friend of mine with a 01 E55. My opinion is to go to Yoko's.
