I have them one chrome aftermarket 20" 85's if I remember that correctly. Any idea why I have this noise after reading how smooth they are, lol
I'm going to stick my head out and say that the wheels are bent or not properly mounted and balanced, I had plenty of them on various wheel sets ups from 18's to 19's and no issues at all.

I can say there are some guys that are bringing them in gray market and not directly from Vredestein NA so who knows if its a different/old stock.

I would have them checked for bends or get them balanced again.

I would think if there is a bad vibration then something is wrong, not because of the brand of tires.
What should be the correct pressure for these tires in 20" , anyone?

Thanks Phil, I am going to tire shop today to have it checked out. The funny thing is when I am driving on the highway and during turns to the right, the noise goes away, when I straighten up, it returns. I thought it was due to me turning the wheel to the right and aligning with the patter in the wheels. It made sense, but still dosent make sense in light of this post.

I will see with tire shop says. Wish me luck!
