I purchased four new tires 1 week ago for my 2006 Toyota Corolla CE. Car was running perfect before I had a local mechanic to install the new tires. After 65m/h, I noticed that Steering whell wobbles. So, I took it back to the shop to have them re-balance the tires. They stated that of the weight on a front tire came off. So, right there in front of me, they re-balanced all four tires. Wobbles stopped @ 65m/h, however, now the wobbles will start @ 70m/h.
THE ONLY difference with the new tires I purchased is size and brand. Original tires were Goodyear integrity P185/65R15. New tires I purchased and installed are Doral P195/65R15. Are the tires the problem?

Hi jose2250,

I believe the tires are the problem since you said it was ok before replacement.

The balancing could have been done badly.

Ok, thanks. I'll try to have someone else to re-balance the tires. If I still have the problem. Maybe I'll change the tires. Thanks for the quick answer.
