Default Took a gamble on 255/30/19" Dunlop SP Sport Maxx

and I am happy to report that I have no vibration issues! Many may remember my horrible experiences with another tire brand which led me on a wild goose chase of around 3 complete tire swaps etc finally ending up in me choosing Michelin Pilot Sports.

Anways, since the reviews were excellent on the Dunlops, together with a higher treadwear rating (I know that's manuf dependent), and the availability in the correct size, I went for it. Road-Force balance came in at:
LF = 15lbs
RR = 22lbs (slightly bent lip on the LM)
LR = 18lbs
RF = 18lbs

Driving back to work, I took it up to ~80mph and it's pretty damned smooth! I was cringing the entire way home....nooooooo vibs please, nooooo vibs!!!! Thankfully, I have none. Ride quality index seems to be higher than the Michelin's too and somewhat quiter - but most likely from more tread vs the Mich's which were almost bald.

Mitch is happy! I took a gamble and it paid off! WHEW.
