1985 Vette, auto, with 53k miles. Tires only have about 350 miles on them. Vibration in steering wheel at almost all speeds but very noticable after 50. Sometimes it smooths out and you wouldnt even think that there was any vibration. Could be cruising at 60 or so, vibration comes and goes somtimes. Tire pressure at 35 psi. 17X9.5 z06 replica wheels. Tires are Falken 275/40zr17.
I had a full 4 wheel ailigment, balanced all four wheels, installed new shocks, new rotors and pads in the front.

Any suggestions are welcome, thanks.
 
How strong is this vibration? Does it happen when the top is on/off?
 
Find a Exorcist with a Hunter GSP 9700 Road Force tire balancer that Knows how to use it!!

Thanks for your reply. I had the wheels balanced twice by two different shops. Still vibration.

I totally agree with Junk, thats the only way to get the tires balanced. have done it on both my 85 and 96 and they both are so smoooooth driving

PROBLEM SOLVED!

I reinstalled the original wheels/tires and it rides as smooth as glass.
