aotiko2,

What kind of tires do you have? Find a local tire shop that uses a Hunter 9700 Road Force balancer. It has an external wheel that rides on the tire tread to measure actual roundness of the whole assembly. Many, many of the lower priced low profile tires are completely out of round, and total junk, and nothing will fix the vibration they create. Falkens come to mind here. Its best to pay the money and go with the bigger name tire companies rather than the off-brands.

Find a Hunter 9700 near you. Many of the new car dealers use them exclusively. Almost every BMW dealer has one.
