Q: Shaky tires, but dealership says they are fine
The tires on my car have been shaky so I took it to the dealership. The sales manager said there was nothing wrong with my car. The tires were destroyed in the last 10,000. I went to a different Volvo dealer and was also told there that nothing was wrong. The dealer replaced the tires. The tires still feel shaky. This is the 3rd pair of tires, at 50,000. Can you suggest what needs to be done to remove the shakiness in the tires?
