HELP tire issues

Got my forgestars on the car 9 inch fronts 11 in the rear
I'm running p zeros 275s on the front that I bought with 2000 miles on them and nto5s on the rear

The front end has a shimmy , and it pulls to the left

Just had stock rims on it was fine no pull no shake

Had another after market set with new tires invos before had other issues but also a shake they were 9 fronts 11 rears
this pair came mounted and I had them rebalanced still had a shimmy
they were returned

Im lost help !

Any ideas greatly appreciated ....


Going to have them rebalanced again
And make sure they used the centering rings

Swap your front wheels from side to side and see if the pull changes direction. Sounds like you might have a bad tire.

Yeah I just need time to trouble shoot
Tires are pretty much new but I guess anything can happen


I'm thinking maybe the centering rings weren't put on

Would a bad tire be visible during the balancing process ?

Sometimes it may show up during balancing,depends on how bad the tire is.. slight belt slippage or out of roundness may not show up during balance. But if it has a decent shimmy and pull i would think you would see it during balancing..

That's what I was thinking
I'm really hoping the hub centric rings weren't installed and it's an easy fix
Buying new tires right now don't fit in the budget

a roadforce balancing will show any defect in the tires

Ok the balance was off so far no shake no pulls although 500 plus to the wheels in the rain with nto5s I can't really get a good feel for anything but it's def better than it was

The shop said that sometimes with used tires the car has to be driven and rebalanced Indint believe them but there's def a difference more info once I get a dry road
