got my 19" Maya STM's - NEED HELP!!!
I just got some 19" Maya STM's with 235/35 Falken GRB FK 451's from Supreme Power Parts.
The problem is that I am feeling some vibration in the wheel at certain speeds that does not feel like normal road vibration.
I have had the tires balanced twice, but I am still feeling vibration in the wheel between about 65 and 75 mph. Completely smooth up to 65 and past 75 which seems really strange.
What could this be? I just had the wheels balanced and they gave me no indication that there is any problem with the tire or the wheel?
Could there be something wrong with a tire or wheel that is not visible?
I am running out of ideas, but I am starting to regret moving up to 19's.
Anyone have any ideas?

sounds like hot pressures aren't equal.
hot pressure being equal for the front axle and the rear axle are more important on 19's -- relatively small hot psi differences can give you that unbalanced feel

a good wheel shop should be able to tell you if a particular wheel won't balance out correctly...
due to being out of round or whatever else. I suppose a tire could be defective, or like ED asked if you have/need hubcentric rings. Only other thing to check is pressures on all 4. Maybe try swapping the fronts to the back, that should help you feel less of the vibration.
I would call SPP and let them know what's going on.
