, but 225/45 would have been much better.

But I think you'll notice alot better ride with the lower tire pressure, and your vibration may go away.

I lowered the tire pressure and now the vibration is gone!!

Anyone here need or know someone who needs a new set of toyo proxes FZ4 225/40-18's? I'll sell all four for cheap.

wait, i was just imagining things. the vibration is still there. What's funny is that it is only noticeable around 50 mph. If I go faster or slower, it doesn't vibrate anymore. I retorqued the wheels and the problem is still there...

Sounds like it's not balanced right. A wheel out of balance will vibrate around 45-50mph, and a tire that is out of round will vibrate/thump at about 60-70mph...Take it to a place that has a Hunter Radial Force Variance machine...
