Steering wheel vibrates on Highway
 
Guys, when I get on the highway and cruise up to about 80mph, I notice that the steering wheel tends to vibrate firmly. On some rough patches of highway, it vibrates so much that I have to keep 2 hands on the wheel to keep it pointed straight. Could this be an issue with the wheels and tires or some other part of the suspension, or is this just normal Corvette road feedback?

I have the 18/17 2001 chrome y2k's with Eagle Goodyear F1 Supercar's. They are a little low on tread.

Car is a 2001 Corvette A4 Coupe.

RE: Steering wheel vibrates on Highway
 
Have your front tires' balance checked. Normally if one or both tires are out of balance, your steering wheel would vibrate, but not as much as you mentioned. If the tires' balance is NOT way out, I suspect that a suspension component is loose or badly worn. Get it checked ASAP!
