Hello! My name is Gary. Welcome to JustAnswer. I'm reviewing your question now, and will post back with a reply shortly. Sounds like a tyre balance issue. Just as important is how the tyre is fitted to the rim to achieve minimum balance weight requirement, and the tyre runs true while spun on the balancer. You have a harmonic that comes and goes from both front tyres, since they can be in or out of time with each other. Gary

How do i fix the issue

You need to find a tyre shop that understands the importance of "accuracy". Gary
