I have 15.4s up front and my steering wheel shakes. Is this normal with skinny tires or do I need a new alignment with these? Thanks.

 

what kind of wheels are they and are they lug or hub centric?

 

summit stars. lug centric.

 

I would have them balanced using the lug holes. A good tire store should have an adapter to balance this way. That is how they will center on the car. This may take all the vibration out of it. A wobble as you described is usally a balancing problem.

 

get them things balanced properly, then worry about getting an alignment.

 

I am having the same problem on a set of racestars...

 

I had no issues with mine, but I had them balanced when installed.

 

I've heard of this a quite a few times now regarding balance issues with these cheaper wheels (Summit, Jegs, Racestars) The ol' saying you get what you pay for never goes away.

 

my pro stars dont have this issue,

 

I ran 15x4 summit stars for a few years, no issues at all. Like others have said, sounds like they are out of balance.

 

Had them rebalanced today, we will see what happens....
