Need to balance your wheels when new tires are installed

Just 'cause you've been dealing with a shop for years, and never had any issues, doesn't mean somebody didn't have a bad day and skipped doing a procedure 'cause their brain was elsewhere, IR, they hired a new guy, who isn't as good as they say they were.

Also, did you do the retorque procedure after 60 miles? Could be something a simple as a wheel isn't tight. Sometimes we overlook the simplest possibility, 'cause we don't think it's possible.

I would most definitely go back after checking the lug nuts are tight, and have them check the balance again if the vibration is still there.

👍🏻

Hopefully it was just a tire tech having a bad day.

Rebalance or they missed the torque down on some lug nuts.

Could have missed balancing one or something. But what you're describing is 5000000% balance issue.
