    So when ever i hit 60 or more my steering wheel starts to shake. I just had discount tire put my stock wheels and tires back on for winter and now it shakes. Before when i had my stock wheels/tires on, the wheel would never vibrate or shake. Did discount mess something up? I had no shaking from my aftermarket wheels either.. sorry for the dumb questions i dont know a whole lot about tires and such.

    Bring them back up, they need to be balanced. Even a little bit off will cause a shake at higher speeds.
