Factory tires experienced vibration even after multiple tire balances and road force balance, although the rims and tires did not show any defects. I replaced the factory 16" rims with aftermarket 17" rims, and the 205 wide factory tires with 225 wide ones. Stability of the car increased a lot but gas mileage was affected.
