Persistent high-speed vibration. Replaced all 4 tires as it was determined that one or more tires were internally damaged and causing the vibration. The new tires did not solve the problem. Following the purchase of new tires, the wheel vibration persisted. Car was taken to a VW dealer for RFV tire balance. Dealer phase matched tires and wheels in attempt to fix vibration.
