Do you know how much camber you're running in the front?
Have these shops showed you specifically how much wear there is on these tires and how it would only cause mph specific vibrations?
I mean..there's only like 5k other people on this site running camber plates with heavier camber than stock so on and so on and not having vibration issues at all..because that's the better way to drive this car.
My bet since it's so mph specific is that there's either some bushing degradation going on with your cv's or arms, etc. if you haven't replaced any of those and depending on your current mileage, this could cause some wiggle.
That or the tires are shit and need to be replaced. I agree with the other above dude about asking the shop to temp swap out a used set of fitting front tires on ur current rims just to test it. No vibs..there's your problem!

So I was able to get discount tire direct to send me out another set of tires up front(225 40 R18)...
I should know after they are installed if the previous tires were shitty...
Pretty aggressive tire(nitto neo gen)...
Was told by the discount tire rep that the tires are a soft compound...
But then the Indy that serviced my car said the tires were a hard compound!(when I had my car serviced previously)...
I have M3 upper and lower controls arms front/rear, M3 sway bar front/rear and coil overs...
Was thinking that maybe I could have some tie rod play(haven't replaced those)...
But was thinking if my tie rods were bad then I would have steering shake at all speeds and not just 60-80mph...
I even swapped my front tires(front right to front left etc)...
Actually made the ride quality worse!
Once the new set of tires come in, I think I will be able to rule out if it's the tires...
If I still have steering shake then I'm going to have to do a thorough inspection of my entire suspension... |
Received my replacement tires from discount tire...
Will test out Friday and post results...
