Picked up a set of Direct Drill Racestar 17x4.5 fronts and M/H tires. Had the mounted and balanced by a good shop but when I put them on above 70 mph the wheel vibrates. Any solutions?

I have the Weld RT-S wheels with Hoosier front runners and they also shake a little over 70 miles an hour. I think it's the byproduct of running a front skinny.

Yeah went thru that when I first got that same setup. went back to the shop that mounted the tires and they balanced out perfect, but still vibrated over 70. So I called M&H and they told me to put 50 street miles and report back. I did as they said and the vibration went away. They said it has to do with what those tires are made of, I forget what they said, but it was poly soemthing.
