Default New Snows From TireRack - Now I get a little shimmy - What to do?

Just got the Mille Miglia Spider with the Dunlop Winter Sports from TireRack. Now I get a little bit of shake in the front.

Wheels are torqued to 89lbs

Any suggestions?

Default If your steering wheel shakes, you may have a front tire out of balance or

out of round.

Default I had a set come badly balanced from Tirerack once. Call tirerack, they'll have you go to...

one of their installers and get them checked and will pay for rebalancing, no problem.

99% chance it's a poor balance, 1% chance it's a bad tire or wheel.
