Slight vibration in steering wheel

[steilkurve]

Sorry for stating the obvious but did you check to make sure the tires were mounted in the proper direction?

Well no... Pilot 4S. Non directional tires. ;-)

What tire pressure are you running?

42 psi

Does the hum attenuate with speed?

No. Stays the same at any speed.

Put the winter setup back on to compare. Swap front to back. Do something other than just ponder.

Whoops got mixed up with my Winter Pirelli's

No vibration with the winters. It’s really the performance tires. But as stated above, I think it’s their low profile and the harsher ride of the 3 combined.

It's probably your tires and it sounds like you swapped the left side and right side tires from their original placement. Basically the tread needs to settle in again.

Actually, brand new tires.

Hey all. Put on the TSportline 20´´ TSS wheels with Michelin Pilot 4S tires on my P3D+. I’m noticing a constant slight vibration in the steering wheel. Steering wheel is not shaking, it’s really just like a hum, like I feel the pavement. First I though it was balance but they were balanced and I feel it at any speed. I get you feel the road more with low profile but I can’t remember it that bad in my S when I had it though it had air suspension. Is this normal? Anyone else noticed this?

Wow! That’s not good at all if you felt a vibration. These are suppose to be top quality wheels from Tsportline. Did you contact them about this?
