Weird noise/steering feeling when slowing down or and cruising at 3mph
With my new 33s km2 i experience weird noise (heartbeat like) when cruising on first gear?? My guess is the heavier tires but what are they affecting ? At normal speeds everything seems normal, hope my tires aren't deffective

did you install only tires... or or did you put new wheels on as well?

It could be the more agressive tread on the km2 compared to your old tires. My stock rubi tires make a small vibration (felt in the steering wheel )when I'm crusing around that speed and its due to the tread.

It's probably your new tires, after break in they should be fine, but make sure you check your psi, should run around 30+/-, (you may need to play around with it to find the "sweet spot").
