Must be a bad tire or bent rim, maybe why they were originally a 'pull off'.
Also, make sure all mounting surfaces are smooth and clean.
Tires are sometimes defective, trick is to figure out which one.
Could coincidentally be a drive train component that showed up at the same
time as your tires; ensure all joints and shafts are free and balanced (as a
last resort).

I have a problem with front wheel vibration when decelerating from about 50
mph. Wheel balancing and replacement of front discs hasn't made any
difference. The cars an 'M' reg. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks

Could be your tires. That seems to be a number one complaint.

I would also examine the front end components carefully. Includes
steering components, ends, links and ball joints...any or all of
which apply.

Looseness can allow a vibration to be set up at certain speeds or
under acceleration or braking.
