Default vibration on od 2wd slt over 110mph

i guess i should say over 100. i think it is just that the tires are only balanced to 65mph. am i correct about this?and is there anywhere you know of to get the faster speed balanceing?if i remember correct there is some whay to do this. i am sure it is tires as everything else is fine

What are your tires rated at for speed?

their just the stock i think they r rated at 85 i think that is d rated. i just wanted to strech the hemi,s legs even at 110 she had plenty of power left and she would have gone much faster but i think she would hit the limiter at 114

Tire's speed ratings are:
SR
HR
ZR
YR
WR

etc... I think that was what Dodgegirl was asking.

You forgot TR and VR, even though all radial tires have the "R" that indicates radial, the speed rating is just the first letter S,T,H,V,Z,Y,W,

I'd forget you felt the vibration unless it causes concerns UNDER the max. speed limit. I have worked on cases like this and its pretty tough to convince Chrysler to fix a problem that only occurs when you are in violation the max spped limit law.

BTW, vehicle manufacters put certain speed rated tires on for a reason, if you have "T's" you don't get to put "V's" on and go that much faster. The rest of the vehicle wasn't built to go that fast.

They prolly are just out of balance...mine ran smooth as silk at 120mph (limiter) with stock Michellin tires.

you can ballence tires at different speeds . as the rpm of the tire goes up the different inconsistancies in the rubber or meter will resonate so u get vibrations. this is why a tire will vibrate at say 50 and will stp at 70 or not vibrate till65 but thanks for alll the input
