# What should I do if my steering wheel vibrates after new tires?
## For larger and more aggressive tires, some vibration after installation can be normal. If you are experiencing a strong vibration or pull, check your lug nut torque and contact us if the issue persists.
Steering wheel vibration after new tires almost always points to a wheel balance issue on the front axle. Here is what to do:
1. **Return to the installer for rebalancing.** Most shops will rebalance at no charge shortly after installation.
2. **Check tire pressure.** Incorrect pressure can contribute to vibration. Verify both front tires are at the PSI shown on your door jamb sticker.
3. **Request road force balancing.** If standard balancing does not resolve the issue, road force balancing checks for internal tire uniformity problems that regular spin balancing may miss.
4. **Inspect for damage.** A bent wheel or a tire with an internal defect can also cause vibration that balancing alone cannot fully correct.
If the issue persists, contact us at **920-560-2430** or through our [Order Support form](https://www.onlytires.com/contact-form?type=ordersupport) -- we can help determine whether a warranty claim is appropriate.
