Hello , noticed a slight vibration issue after putting on my summer wheel & tire setup. First the setup, Miro 111?s, front : 19x8.5 ET 35 5x120 with General Exclaim?s 245/35R19: Rear 19x9.5 ET20 5x120 with Exclaim?s 275/30R19. Running 40 psi in the front and rear. Absolutely love the look, but noticed a ever so slight steering wheel vibration around 45mph that fades away as I accelerate through 75mph, but it?s replaced by a slight shimmy that reverberates through the entire vehicle, that comes in waves.
Brought the car back to the shop I had the wheels and tires mounted and balanced at. They checked the balance on all the wheels and told me they were dead on, no issue at all with the balance. So I?m at a loss.
1. This can?t be normal, had nothing like this with my stock setup.
2. Could a steel belt be broken on one of the tires?
3. Don?t feel it?s an alignment issue, have no pulling to one side or the other.
4. Anyone with this setup have issues?
I realize that with this new setup there?s going to be a different feel to the car but this vibration, shimmy issue is really annoying, to the point of where I?m considering removing the Miro?s and putting the stock setup back on. Any help would be appreciated.

Could be one of the tires.
A good friend of mine had a similar problem and after troubleshooting the wheels, ball bearings and the front suspension it turned out to be a defective tire (and they were relatively new). It might be a pain in the ass, but you could try what we did. We mounted the spare on the passenger side (where he thought the vibration was coming from) and test drove it. When we put the spare on the front and drove it the vibration went away. It narrowed down the problem for us and when we checked the tire carefully we noticed it had a flat spot on it. We guessed when the tire heated up good it was "skipping" the spot causing the vibration (and corresponding "wave" of reverberations - like you mention). He brought a new tire and the problem went away.
If it's not the tires themselves, at least this way you can eliminate them before you start throwing money at the problem. As an added bonus, you'll be able to re-seat the wheels and torque them right. I've heard more than one story about tire shops not installing wheels correctly and causing an issue.

Had he same issue. 2 new front wheels miro as well. Had severe vibration so i still had an old wheel around and put it on one side then the other and sure enough the drivers side wheel was bad and made it vibrate. It wasn't the tire either bc i got another tire and had it put on but the damn think still vibrated so i knew it was the wheel.
