Shakie tires Suck!
So, I recently picked up some snow tires with rims from a buddy at a tire shop for a cash deal. They were both used for maybe one season. Performance is mediocre. My real concern is now, when I hit about 70km the steering wheel shakes a bit, but at 80-90km I feel it in my legs big time and things like my ipod near the shifter rattle around! WTF?! The big shakes go away at 90+ but the wheel still shakes...I do a lot of highway driving and don't want a tire flying off. I torqued em today and the lugs were fine....but hell am I scared I wasted $$$$!!
Would a centering ring fix this or should I just get new wheels? I really don't want the dealer not honoring any warranty issues cause of some mishap. And I definitely can't afford new ****! Help please!

This is real easy, take it back. take them for a drive in the car. If they cant feel it then be more firm. If they try to BS you. talk to the owner.
