Do they fit well? Or is there some space between the axal seam when you are placing them on? If that's the case then you always get a vibration at higher speeds...

did they come with a set of plastic rings to mount them with? If you don't put these on they wont bolt on perfectly central and the wheel will spin off centre, creating vibration.

Just Tyres lost one of mine :angry:
didn't notice till two months later, so i suppose it was too late by then!
