## Vibrations
After a full month of on and off diagnosis, we finally figured out what as wrong! I called TireRack and they suggested another tire shop take a look at it too. So I took it to my guy, Ron at Dependable Tire & Brake in San Rafael. He found the tires were not 100% seated in the groove of the rim and caused the wheel to have lateral runout. This is what caused any road force testing to fail miserably. After remounting the tire again with lots of lube, he was able to get great numbers for the road force. The high 18lb one went on the rear passenger.






After installing them, all vibrations were no longer present. Thank you to Ron!! I should've gone to Ron in the first place as I originally intended.

The M3 with it's partner in crime.




CSBM5 You were right that Michelin couldn't possibly have that kind of poor QA. I'm glad it was resolved by a proper experience tech.
