ON Vibration Problem
Hey guys i dont know if this is a dumb question or not but i just bought an RX8 and first time taking it on the highway. When im under 100km/h the car runs smooth, but once i pass 110km/h the car goes though this pulsing vibration. I dont know what it is so maybe someone can shine some light on this. Thanks guys

What tires are you running? Some tires have a significant 'thump' at higher speeds. But then, 110 km/h (68 mph) isn't very fast.

I've had my car to 137 MPH and it was tight to the rode.
