Mysterious front end shake at speed

[Bob In Ct]

This topic has been beaten to death over the years. It's the tires, they're not really round. Are they BFGs perhaps?

Even a square tire can be balanced. Many tires leave the factory with either (or both) a dimentional or dynamic out of round. If you have a set of those you get a harmonic at the speeds you mentioned.

Get the tires "trued". There are machines to do this.

It's probably the tires, if you can get a set off another one and see if it's still there. I had the same problem and my rims were bent.
