Default WWAWD? dealership tells me my wheels are bent and with the new tires on I'm getting nasty .....

vibrations at highway speeds. Everything was fine before the new tires, so I'm wondering if I got bad tires or if it was just shoddy work by the dealer.

Should I take the car elsewhere or just eat the 300 bucks for wheel grinding?

Need more info... What wheels and tyres do you have and how does the dealer figure in this?

Default Get another opinion.

Most likely = bad balance. If you have aftermarket wheels, some people have difficulty balancing. Wheels probably did not go bad simultaneoulsy with new tires.

Maybe they weren't balanced correctly? Took Discount Tire 3 tries for me a few years ago
