Hi,
I just bought new Yokohama YK580 tires. I had YK520 tires but they're no longer manufactured. This new tire is the replacement and is suppossed to be a better tire.
I'm getting a small virbration or shake in the steering wheel when I'm driving on the freeway (around 60 to 70 mph). I went back to Discount Tire and they checked the balance of the front two tires. No problems and thus no need to rebalance.
Issue still persists. It may be coincidental that the vibration/shake started when my tires were changed. However, I'm focusing on the tires. The 580s are new and there are very few reviews. The tire tread is asymmetrical. I'm wondering if it is the tire itself maybe due to the tread or some other factor. Maybe the equipment, for balancing, at my local Discount Tire, is out of whack? All ideas welcomed.
Thanks, Rivdog

BTW, the tires are 'quiet' when driving
