Front end shimmies new wheels and tires
I just installed brand new Torque thrust 2's on my car, with new tires. Now I have a shimmy in the front end. It starts about 50mph and get worse.
Has anyone else experienced this with TT2s?

I would deal with it for about a week and let the tire fully seat into the bead and then get them rebalanced.
But they are most likely just out of balance. Do you know how they balanced the wheels??

if they "static" balanced them......meaning only weights on the inside.....it isnt a 100% true balance.....
they should be "dynamic" balanced with tape weights.....you will have to request that service when you go to the tire shop.....
also there could be a tire that is out of round.....if that is the case.....you must have them "road force" balanced......
being a store mgr of a big o tires.....there are all kinds of balancing methods......tape weights, hammer weights, and also balancing beeds......
as the other guy said let them seat on the bead 100% before you go into the shop pointing fingers.....never **** off the people working on your car.....
good luck
