Default Car vibrating badly at 80mph on highway...
The past few nights coming home from my EMT class I noticed that my car starts to vibrate rather significantly at about 80mph. I just did the suspension and wheels and tires last week so I'm not sure if its due to that or what. I thought it might be the tire pressure, which I checked this morning and re-sdjusted to about 40psi in each tire (I had to guess b/c the tire and website only give max psi which is 51). Any suggestions? TIA

Default Are you using hub-rings w/ your Oetty wheels? If not, then that could be the culprit or
your tires could use re-balancing.

I've never experienced time travel with my Oetty's... maybe that is the 3.0 slowing it down

You mean 3.0 doesn't go 88 mph?
