Question about tire pressure...

[iGav]

The vibration is only noticable at high speed (65 mph and up).

It might, just might be worth not doing those speeds until you actually know what's wrong.

Just a thought.

Neither do I... there is only a pull at the high speed, but it isn't to any particular direction (if that makes sense). Depending on the road... sometimes it pulls to the left, sometimes to the right, and only at high speeds (travelling in the far left lane).

Many things can cause a vehicle to pull one direction or the other, and it can be difficult to tell whether it's a problem on the vehicle itself, or some external factor. A road with ruts or which is slanted will cause the vehicle to "pull", as well as crosswind. An alignment issue can cause the vehicle to pull, but depends upon how the wheels are misaligned. Abnormal tread wear and other tire abnormalities can also cause the vehicle to pull, which are often caused by alignment issues.

I sounds to me that your car drives straight and true and is being affected by external factors.

bad joke....

You need to wipe your seats and completely reinstall your engine.

This post remind me of an old joke;

A chemical engineer, an electronic engineer and a computer engineer were riding on the highway and suddenly the car's engine stalls....

The chemical engineering suggests: let's check the fuel, because the most probable cause is the fuel...it's contaminated with water!"

They check it and nothing wrong with it...

The electronic engineer says: "we must check the electronic control module fuse because it must be blown due to a shorted circuit!"

Also they check and all the fuses OK!

Theystart discussing what could it be....

"We are running out of clues of what to do...."

The comp eng stop the discussion and says:
"Lets do what I always do...and it always work...
Close all the windows and try re-starting it!

LOL... that was pretty good.

32psi - 35psi is a good figure. My tires say 35psi right on them, so I don't let them get below 33psi.

This is a mistake lots of people make. The pressure marked on the tire is the maximum set by the tire manufacturer -- they put that on there for liability reasons, so if you burst a tire you can't blame them. The actual recommended tire pressure depends on the vehicle weight, and is set by the car manufacturer. It'll be in the owner's manual and often on a decal in the driver's door jamb. It's usually well below the 35psi maximum marked on the tire. If your tires are over-inflated, they won't conform to the road properly and your road-holding will be reduced, sometimes enough to be dangerous even at 35 psi.

The doorjam says 32. I would never go against when the car manufacturer says.
