So, you put your TPMS on the new wheels? I did the same because I didn't want to ride around with the light on and in Delaware I'd get gigged in the inspection lane for a mechanical issue.
Before I drove on them I did a few other things. I had the new Hankooks mounted at Just Tires. The installer called me to say that it needed a lot of extra metal to counter balance the TPMS.
I installed a new steering damper by Stablus. Seems to be a perfect match but stiffer than the stock or the Sachs-Boge stabilizer that I had replaced.
I installed drilled and slotted rotors and Centric Ceramic pads from freakingfastsrt6. The only note with those was that the hole for the rotor retaining screw didn't line up. I'm guessing that the screw is only there to line up the hole on the hub and that bolts passing through the rotor hold everything in place. At this time I also installed SLK320 G-Stop Stainless brake line and a DOT4 fluid change.
What I have now however, is a vibration issue between 60-80mph. My first reaction was to make an appointment to have the balance and alignment checked. What kept me from doing that as the solution was that I had zero issues before the changes having put 60k on the front Conti's. They're in such good shape still that I had them remounted after the TPMS swap for use as my snow tires.
Does anything stand out in this as a probable cause / definite issue? I went back over everything to make sure the bolts were all secure and that the tires were true. With the recent repost of "How can I disable the TPMS?" I was thinking about starting with the sensor removal and rebalance.
