or you could swap the front wheels with another 5 lugger and see if he gets the same results.

Nah now that I think about it, it must be a balancing issue. My stock s2k rims/tires were on the car and were absolutely SOLID.

I'll just get 'em re-balanced.

Question tho: I don't really have the time to get this fixed until next Wednesday... is it going to hurt anything by driving on them like this say... 700 km?

my other option is that I'll just go back to my summers til wednesday... doesn't look like there is a big chance of snow in the forecast

the vibrations disappear after 70-80... not noticeable on the deerfoot this morning on my way to work.

Hmmmmm, a "resonance" type vibration. Could also be an indication of a bad wheel. Have you had these wheels on the S before? Could be an "application" glitch. ie. not quite right for this car.

okay I feel stupid for bringing this up but I figured what the heck...

I've had my car sitting in my warehouse here at work for about 6 hours now... checking my tire pressures in here I'm getting 38 all around. Could that cause it?

When I checked them cold outside (it was about -2 when I checked them) they were all adjusted to 32.

Worth a try to see if there is improvement? would overinflation even cause this?

Over inflation won't cause the vibration. I run 38# upfront when I autox. 38# cold is high though.
