wheel/tire question
 
i just removed my all-seasons and mounted my summers. before i mounted them, i got the summers installed and balanced at sam's club. after i mounted them, i noticed that my steering wheel goes left-right-left-right very fast when i reach 90 km/h and above. i didn't have this problem with my all-seasons. is this a sam's club balancing problem? i was thinking maybe it was a mistake to go to sam's club for tire work.

If you're getting a high speed wobble like that most likely its a tire balancing issue, it either wasnt done or done incorrectly, also depending on the caliber of the shop they may have a road forcing tire balancer, it may just be the quality of mounting and can usually be fixed, either way bring it back to them, its their job to fix it

it must have been a piss poor job of balancing if it's really that bad at 90km/h. might wanna get them rebalanced, or it could be your alignment ? :confused:

is it a left-right-left-right vibration?? or is the wheel pulling?

if it's pulling, it's an alignment problem... and also if you're running a low profile tire, it will "follow" the ruts in the road compaired to soft, bigger side wall all seasons.
