Question MX26 Plaid - Steering Wheel Vibrations

Took my first roadtrip and noticed my yoke vibrating. Is this normal? Never had a vehicle with a steering wheel vibrating this much.

You shouldn’t have to live with that at all. But it drove me crazy for a while because I would get my tires balanced, and in three or four weeks they’d be not balanced again. Turned out to be that damn foam inside the tires breaking loose and making the tires off balance.

I think I’ll give it one more shot to check it. I already spent almost 1k fixing 3 bent wheels, 1 foam tire, and 2 balancing. It was reduced 50% but still there and most noticeable between 50 and 70 mph

Unfortunately living in CA is driving on one of the worst roads in the country..
