    First request for help. Have a slight vibration starting at about 100km/hr. Goes away about 105km/hr. Any thoughts appreciated.

    Sounds like tire balance issue that the runners seem to be very sensitive to.

    Road force balanced? Did you have issues before putting on the new tires?

    Oh no, I'm sure they are NWSF.

    Not road force balanced, but had the problem with the previous tires as well. Thought that might be the issue!

    Welcome to the forum.

    Road force balancing will let you know if you do have a defective tire. Also have them verify if the tire/wheel high and low spots are aligned and not having spun after being installed.

    I had a similar issue. The knuckle on the drive shaft (u joint) needed replacing. I thought it was a trans issue. It was never greased and many many years Seemed like a simple fix 190 parts and labor
