I still recommend getting the tires shaved. Smoothest ride I’ve ever had. Shouldn’t be too expensive. May solve the problem. Will eliminate the “tire out of round” issue. Tire could still have an imperfection. Nothing to lose by shaving & may solve the problem.
I've heard of that, I've never done it. It was popular with cross ply tyres, especially retreads, where QC was poor.
But if the OP does that, tyre warranty is void.

Well this will make it even more difficult lol. I wanted the mph to be as close as possible to the stock setup. The stock setup is 255/40r19 in the front, 275/40r19 rear. The steedas are 295/35r19 front, 305/35r19 rear
Well, a wider tire and shorter sidewall will definitely change the steering feel and make the ride more bumpy. But it shouldn't cause more vibration.

So is the wheel vibrating, or just moving with the road imperfections?
6-7 mm should not make an appreciable difference in ride quality, feeling road imperfections.

I would beg to differ. But everyone's ride sensitivity is different. Either way thats getting off topic...
