Toyota Camry: Camry '99 steering shakes

do you mean it was ok with the old tires

Yes, it was ok with my old tires.

Call the tire co tell them you want a different set or fix the problem.
Maybe a better brand like Michelin. Did a tire co or your dealer
replace the tires. Anyway probably one is defective, you may even call
the tire manufacturer , Tell them you cant drive safely , and an
accident will be their responsibility. That will get them to listen.

You could demand the old tires back, they wont have them of course. If
it was me Id be mad and demand it be fixed . Think about stop pay on
them.

Two guesses (assuming was OK before the new tires).
1) If they didn't use a torque wrench and over tightened (and/or
unevenly tightened) the lug nuts with an air gun, could have caused a
problem with the brake rotors.
2) Recently purchased a new set of tires. Had read online reviews at
Tire Rack reflecting something like 5 million reader miles. Most
everyone was very pleased with this brand and model (was rated 2nd out
of 36), but a few reported the kind of shaking you describe and added
that they never could get it resolved and decided never to buy that
brand or type of tire again.
When I had the tires installed (they happened to carry a 30 day
"return for any reason" warranty, I told the installer that if the
tires appeared to be out of round, or an excessive amount of weight
was required to balance them, that tire would be considered defective
and returned. He replied that if they discovered this type of tire
during mounting they would not install it.
So my guess is, you could have gotten one or more bad tires. There's
also something called "road force variation" that can be checked with
the right equipment. If you have a good tire store, they should work
with you to solve the problem.

Google User;

Sears Auto refunded my money when the same vibration @ 60 mph happened
after installing new tires. The manager was actually very nice, he
offered to give me a replacement set, but I told him I don't want
that, he gave me back my money with no questions. Try that with your
tire shop.


Daniel;

Are you talking about the Continental ExtremeContacts? I bought those
from tire rack, I hear this vibration noise @60mph, though no steering
wheel shake.

But what if they were hit by a meteor on their way to get the tires
fixed because they were unsafe, would this be the fault of the tire maker?

SENATOR ZELL MILLER DEMOCRAT OF GEORGIA, the nation's most prominent
conservative Democrat, said today he will endorse President Bush for
re-election in 2004 and campaign for him if Bush wishes him to. Miller
said Bush is "the right man at the right time" to govern the country.

The next five years "will determine the kind of world my children and
grandchildren will live in," Miller said in an interview. And he
wouldn't "trust" any of the nine Democratic presidential candidates with
governing during "that crucial period," he said. "This Democrat will
vote for President Bush in 2004."

Stupid question
