Your Subaru Outback's front tires started vibrating noticeably around 30 mph, and the vibration got worse as you drove faster, accompanied by loud noise from outside the vehicle. A mechanic found that the front driver and passenger Goodyear Regatta 2 tires (205/70/15 size) had excessive road force variations, meaning the tires weren't distributing pressure evenly against the road even though they looked evenly worn. The fix will involve replacing the defective front tires with new ones that are properly balanced.
