Also, if you got hubcentric rings with it that are plastic, that could be part of your problem. Most other dealers (tirerack and discounttire) send them with metal rings instead. You may want to get yourself a set of metal rings in the mean time. I think you can buy them separately from tirerack and discounttiredirect.com

Well, I may have solved the vibration issue, although I'm very surpised. I had the tires set to 34 cold, and had the condition mentioned. I looked at the door jam (duh) and noticed it was sped to 38! The tires were hot, and were already at 38, so I set them to 40, just to test and I'll top them off in the morning cold. Well, the vibration just from the TWO psi increase is 90% gone! Hopefully after another couple pounds it will be 100% gone and I won't have to have anything done! I am shocked that the tires are THAT picky though!

naw, something's wrong with your balance or your tire is not completely circular (defect). You should reconsider getting it re-balanced on a hunter
balancer and set it at 34-35psi cold if its only you or someone else
in the car.
You shouldn't have to pump it to 38psi cold just to get rid of vibration.

The sticker on the door says 38 front and rear. I agree there may still be an issue that I WILL get checked out - but it is a DAY and NIGHT difference now just withthe 2psi boost. The wheel was shaking, the mirrors were blurred, etc. Now it's butter smooth in the front, and the rear has a slight shake - but the wheel is now smooth as glass, like the stocks were last week.

Then it sounds like you might have a defective tire. it's not circular.
Get it re-balanced on a hunter machine if you feel the need. The
computer readout will be able to tell the technician if there's a tire
defect or not. I think the store may have put the tires on a rack
on its tread and possibly created a flat spot.

I drove a few hundred miles at 38psi and I wanted to shoot myself.

OK I see what you're saying now. The manual is actually contradicting itself.
The door jam doesn't say it's the max load. One page of the manual says the jam will have the correct pressure for the stock tires, while another page shows a generic chart, with varied pressures by load.
Either way, I like the stiffer ride in general.

Get them Roadforce Balanced on a Hunter 9700. That is the only way to know what is going on for sure.
