If those are what came stock, I'd just get a new set of tires.
The tires that have the sound insulation will say "PNCS" on the side wall.

Two weeks ago I bought a new tire and drove smooth. Yesterday one of the tires that came with the vehicle stared to wobble. It’s the foam loosing adhesion. 31k miles. Only problem is the tire was 2 years old before it made it on my vehicle which puts it at 5 yrs.. I’ll switch over to Goodyear when I get a new set. For now the dealer removed the foam in the one tire and it balanced perfectly.
Same problem and tires this size are hard to find right now for some reason. They have to come off at 25K, what a waste. Highway driving is really bad and spent $200 for road force balance that lasted 1 month. 275/45R21/XL 110W Pirelli Scorpion Zero A/S PNCS
I live in a hot climate that may be causing the foam to move around inside the tire. In any case something is out of balance. At first around 65mph, road force balance corrected it for awhile but now starts around 50mph. I have no clue about these tires.
Looks like Goodyear Eagle F1 is the only option I am finding today.
