Angry nails!! feeling irritated, wheel/tire combo question

I DID have a set of BFGoodrich Comp T/A's and Konig Monsoon 17" 's on , but took them off yesterday to get the tires plugged, too many friggin' nails and screws on the street around my area!, well enough venting frustration, my question is this....all the while I had them on there was this very low almost indistinct vibration at highway speeds, and I was told before it may be because of the camber not being set right for those aftermarket rims and tires. Could it be true? I would like to put them back on, but I am not against keeping the tire and buying some SS Style wheels that are probably better suited.

I would appreciate info on what you guys and gals think are the best tire and wheel combo for the best price. Thanks.

anybody ever have any problems with the Konigs?

:confussed

I have the SS wheels on mine and have no problems at all, I cant see you needing to do anything with camber, it sounds like a balanceing issue, did you try to get the combo re-balanced?

I had them balanced last summer, and I noticed the minor shaking was minimized. I probably will have them balanced again once they are at the shop to have the problems plugged. I will most likely, (if $$$ permits), sell the rims and keep the tires.

Thanks

Wheel alignment is imperative, but all those plugs will throw your balancing off.
