I just installed some Yoko A509's (and would like to thank all the people
who recommended them; they really stick and on the wet they let you know
before they are going to let go) and noticed that I have picked up a
vibration at about 68 mph.  My tire pressure is 28 psi. Does anyone have a
recommened tire pressure for stock sized A509's?
