yes it is the same steep hill (it’s the only hill around here that’s that steep). i would blame it on the road but like i said my old tires and rims handled it just fine.
on a weird side note the vibrations changed depending on if i went down the hill in 5th or neutral(with the clutch pushed in/coasting)
i will try lowering the psi to see if that makes a difference and i will try rotating the front to the back.
however my old rear tires have been at 38 psi forever so would it be bad to lower it to 32 psi at this point.
it just seems like such a shame if it’s a balance issue because i got sooooo close to making it work with a bubble balancer.
PS: yeah i was really only able to get up to 70-75 mph on an uphill road in 4th gear (these fits are weak) but still there was no vibrations.
thank you for the reply.
could tire pressure have something to do with it since when going down a VERY steep hill there is probably a lot more weight on the front than the back?
my rear tires are at 38 psi and my front are at 37 psi.
i was thinking of tinkering with the front tire pressure to see if anything changes.
i was also thinking of putting the old tires on the front and the new on the back to see what that did.
any chance it could be defective rims? I put different rims on when i changed the front tires.

thanks for the replies guys.
I really am hesitant to think it’s a balance issue since it only does it under that one specific condition.
keep in mind i was able to get up to 80 mph on level, uphill, and moderately downhill roads with NO vibrations. I could have probably gone even faster with no vibrations but it seemed unimportant since the fastest road in america has a speed limit of 85 mph.
the only condition was down a VERY steep hill at 75+ mph. another odd thing was that i think the vibrations were worse when i went down the hill with the clutch pushed in (coasting) as opposed to going down the hill in 5th gear.
Could it be a tire tread issue? since i am going down a very steep hill and all the weight is on the front tires.
