I haven't tried Graspics, but on any other tire incuding Blizzaks, you only
get vibration when something is off balance. Usually when a weight falls
off, or if you get a buildup of snow, ice, mud, dirt, etc in the wheel.

Thanks for all the input. They are mounted on the same rims the
Goodyears were on.
I should say that when I bought the Goodyears, the original installer
couldn't get it right- they always vibrated. But when the car was at
the MB dealership for something else, I asked them to balance them,
Great car as long as the timing chain was updated to the 2-row type. If
not then plan for replacement avery 100,000 miles.
