wheels most likely need balanced.

Hmmm... bad tracking maybe, does the car veer to any side when you go slowly? Take it to a specialist and just have them take a look. Got that size on my standard VTS if I remember right, no such problems.

sounds like they need balanced, i have wheels the same size and over 60 - 70 the steering wheel shakes a bit. need to find a place that will balance them
