Need some help with a front end vibration. Car was perfectly fine, no issues - smooth, all the way to 130+.
Got some new front tires (cheapo Achilles) and then had a terrible front end vibration - so bad you felt like the dash was gonna shake off. Had the tires indexed, and it improved slightly - was only bad at 80+ instead of awful at 50+. I pretty much didn't drive the car with these tires on it - maybe 100 miles total. It was just no fun.
Decided to get some better tires - Got Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Car STILL has a vibration above 80. Better than it was, but still not something you'd want to drive fast at all.
The vibration occurs at speed - in gear, out of gear, clutch in, clutch out, coasting, or wtih brake applied. Clears up below 60mph now.
Guibo looks fine. Haven't had it algined, but it tracks perfectly straight.
Never hit anything that I know of - I barely even drive the car - ~4000 miles a year.
I'm at a loss and don't want to just start swapping parts randomly, but diaging this seems very difficult.
