    yep out of round was it. out of rounds are more noticeable at lower speeds simply because higher rotational speeds lessens the vibration just as a flywheel smooths the power of your engine. momentum if high enough tends to jump over the imperfection.... the faster the angular rotation, the more perpendicular the angle of force becomes.... or something like that...

    I do not know... they were checking the balance of the tyres and when they got to the rear left tyre (I meant left, not right in the previous post lol) onto the balancing machine, you could tell it was out of round.

    Almost 4 months lol.

    I have exactly the same issue on my 3rd gen (2014) Prius. Can't see any of wheels out of shape at my naked eye. Was thinking to change my rear tires first to see if the wobbling goes away
