Did he come up with an answer?I've had pirrelli's and bfg's on my 91 and they both vibrate at around the same speed.Also my brother had goodyears F-1'S on his and they had the same vibration if not worse.So how could 4 different manufacturers have the same problem.I feel there is a suspension wear problem going on.But what part?Also maybe u-joints?It would be nice to find a solution to this problem.So is yours fixed now?Thanks,DINO84
So now after replacing 3 of the original new tires I bought and after several hours at the garage I now have only a slight vibration but it is only intermitent. I do like the way my car rides with these tires much better than with the Yokohamas I had. But your point of there being something that has worn that would cause the vibration is well taken. Before I put my car away for the winter I am taking it in to my Chevy dealer and I am going to ask them what they think. If you ever find anything out about this issue please let me know.
Thanks

Burning Brakes
Last year I checked the half shart u-joints and 3 out of 4 were bad.I replaced all 4 .This car only had 70k miles on it but being 18 years old I suppose the grease drys up.Ofcourse this didn't fix the problem.At times it will run smooth at 55 and awhile later it will vibrate.I wonder if it has to do with how the road is paved?Also I wonder why chevy went with different width rims on c-4's?8.5 on the front and 9.5 on the rears.What was there reasoning?My 84 had16" x 9.5 all around and I don't remember any vibrations on it.Also my 2000 is very smooth.It too has different size wheels front and back.It would be nice to hear from someone that has solved this problem.BTW: I did have the tires road force balanced and no different!
