Alot of people having Vibration Problems?

If you read the responses, you would see that most answerssuggest a wheel balancing, especially if it seems to happen in one speed range. That would be the first thing to check.

I also now have a vibration around 100km/h and anything slower or faster it doesn't show up.
The problem is a tire bulge though in one of my rear tires. Check the easiest and cheapest things first like tire balancing and then work your way up to real big problems.

I agree with the above. I was having a really bad vibration at 55 mph and I took it in to have the wheels rotated and balanced and they found that my back passenger side tire had a huge bubble in it. I got two new tires, had them balanced and now it's good as new.
I would recommend taking it to have the tires checked and balanced.

I've had no problems with my P6s after 15k miles, other than hitting a pot hole in Detroit two winters agoand tearing one. I also only use them in the winter. On the other hand, my Coopers have been nothing but trouble and I finally confronted Discount Tire and they are replacing them with Continentals. They told me I should stay with OEM tires - and I pointed out that they recommended AND sold me the Coopers.
Look into the Conti's before you make your final decision.
