Anonymous Unregistered	After I had my new tires installed I notice that the steering wheel shimmies from 40-50 MPH. Before that and after that it is fine. I had no problem at all before the tires. I don't know alot about front ends so is this more likely A: Tires balanced incorrectly? or B: Need for an alignment? Any informed opinions will be greatly appreciated so I can take it to the right place to get it fixed. Thanks

Anonymous Unregistered	Definately a balance issue. At 40-50 your hitting a critical rpm for the amount of unbalance in relation to the unsprung mass of your tire. A proper balance job should alleviate the problem.
