[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 886161, member: 52972"] Denise, The first thing I would do is switch the front and rear tires. If that solves the steering wheel shake, then you know the problem is tire/wheel related. If you still have shaking/vibration then there is something wrong with front-end and it is probably not the tire/wheel. While it is rare, occasionally you will get a new tire that is defective and is out of round. You might want to go back to the place where you bought the new tires and tell them about the problems and what has been done to try to correct the situation. Most Tire good tire stores can figura out what the problem is if you tell them. They can run tests with a dial-indicator to determine if any of the new tires are out of round or has any defect that would cause vibrations. It's also possible that the vibration from you old cupped tires damaged a tie-rod end and now the steering is loose alowing the vibration? ...Rich [/QUOTE]
