Question fro you guys?

I had new wheels put on my 07TL-S about a week ago. They are 19x8.5 w/ 245/35/19 tires. Now when I drive the steering wheel seems to vbrate a good amount between 45-70mph. What might be causing this? i never noticed it with the stock wheels.

+1 it's most likely a problem with the balancing of the tires
then again, a lot of people are having problems with wheel shimmy these days even with stock equipment, including me

u need to get the wheels balanced. make sure to go to a tire place that uses a hunter machine.

if u got a vibrating steering wheel your fronts are not balanced. if your center console armrest shakes your rears are not balanced. it sounds like u should get all 4 done though, cus if the fronts aren't balanced the rears probably are out of whack too.

thanks everyone. The steering wheel vibrates bad enough that I can see and feel my hands vibrating. I got the wheel/tires done at Discount Tire. Guess I'll have to go back to them.
