"Good Tire Shop" and Alabama can't seem to be used in the same sentence. Randy has had a tough time finding any place worth a damn in his area.

I'm stumped here. You had a 3rd party test drive those wheels before shipping them out, and he confirmed they rode smoothly on his car. Can Tri-Bone give us a description of what he observed?

Also, Mike mentioned Pirelli issues. I'd tend to agree with him, as I've not had good experiences with Pirelli tires on any of my previous cars. Even the Pirelli 22s on my own car take a good 10-15 miles on the freeway to rid themselves of flat spots each morning. Could this be your issue? Are you driving at highway speeds for at least 15-20+ minutes a day? City stop/go driving doesn't rid the flat spotting, as not enough heat is introduced into the tire. Does the vibration get less with miles? It sucks that nobody else makes a 315-22 for our cars.
