So I got a 4 wheel alignment and both front wheels rebalanced. Steering wheel vibrations have gotten much more subdued, but still come at about 60mph now. Mechanic didn't notice anything too obvious (didn't do a complete inspection). I'm a little stumped on what else it could be. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Are the tires worn unevenly on the fronts? You should have the tires balanced every 6k miles. Did your mechanic look for any bent wheels he can balance the tires out but still have a bent wheel and it will vibrate.

I haven't run over anything that would have bent a wheel. I'll check the tire wear, Since I have the alignment, it can't get any worse than it is currently lol.

Sorry haven't posted on this in a while. Front tires are pretty worn on the inside. Does that tend to happen on our cars?? I'm kinda pissed cuz I don't really wanna buy new tires at the moment. So besides screwing the tires more, are there any other negatives to waiting a little while before changing them?

Also, advice on what brand/size to get for 18x9s? I have 265 Yokohamas at the moment.

Yea, I have the Advan Sports at the moment, just looking for something a little cheaper. And its weird that 275s are cheaper than 265s, no complaining from me though!
