Wheel Vibration
Recently purchased a 2013 Grand Sport, 14,000 miles. Had a vibration throught the steering wheel at about 70 to 95 mph. Car still had original tires on it so I thought that was probably the problem. Put new Continentals on all 4, 4 wheel alignment and front end inspection. Shop said all good. Nothing has changed. Same vibration, same speeds. Any suggestions on what to check now? Thanks!

We’re the wheels road balanced?
How bad of a vibration?
TBH, my GS has a slight vibration I cannot get rid of either. I thought for an almost 200mph car, that it would be smoother at those lower speeds, but road conditions come into play as well.

Take it to a very good shop that knows how to balance. I kept taking mine back to discount tire and ended up replacing tow tires but still had the issue. Took it to a recommended shop and they were able to balance correctly and no more issue.
