Has anyone experienced vibration in the steering wheel above 80km? We have had very cold weather and my tire pressure monitor indicates all 4 tires at 29lbs (the alarm fired). I have not had a chance to correct and curious if low pressure could be the cause. Also, I understand that tires sitting in extreme cold will develop flat spots. If this is the cause, how much driving is required to correct the problem. Any thoughts are truly appreciated.

Radial ply tires are not subject to "flat spots" like the old bias ply tires were, even in cold weather....vibration may be caused by snow or ice buildup on the inside of the wheel, which throws it out of balance....park in a heated parking garage or take it to a car wash and "blast" out the ice/snow..

Perhaps it is ice buildup. Thanks for your input.
