Hi folks,

A family member had recently purchased a used 2004 M3 which had come with a set of brand new Toyo tires. Before we had picked up the vehicle we had noticed the steering wheel would shake at 60MPH, which the dealer had correct by balancing the wheels and now it tends to always move to the right when you let go off the steering wheel. Could this be a bad tire? This is what I have been told by my local discount tires.

Have any of you folks had this kind of problem with your vehicles? Your input on this matter would be appreciated.

Could be a bad tire(uneven tire wear) or the crown of the road but most likely it is alignment.

Swap the front tires left to right temporarily and try a few different flat roads.
