Do you have any Steering vibration above 70 or 75 mph ? if you lift hands on steering wheel
I did at about 77mph. Had them rebalanced and it took care of most of the feedback I was getting. Might be some slight residual vibration still but hardly noticeable now.

I also did 2nd time rebalanced, it seems to be gone , and making sure tire pressure not going more then 50psi.

Not sure its more Psi or bad rebalance

Had the tire installed at Costco and drove it for about 40 miles - both city and highway.

The tire feels stiffer (115H) than Scorpion Zero AS. I see no difference in efficiency or road noise. I did notice vibration at 80mph+ but no steering wheel shake. Probably more to do with the road surface than balance or alignment.

Since the max cold inflation is 50psi, I'll have to make sure that it's right at 48 psi. With AWD, I tend to run the front tire pressure bit higher than the rears so probably will run 49/47 F/R setup as long as I'm not towing or have a load in the rear.
