    If you’re running a lot of backroads with tires that are designed for long haul it will take their toll on them. I’ve seen even Michelins go bad at about half life because they were being used in the wrong application. So I would recommend doing some research and make sure you have a tire that’s designed for your application. You’ll get more life and a better ride at the same time.

    The steering wheel physically shakes left and right? Wonder what your caster is like?

    Caster angle is front rear tilt? Everything seems vertical.

    Don't know if the link will work but mine is a smidge worse than this. And isn't constant. Comes and goes, don't matter speed or going straight or turning.

    I've had that issue with a couple sets of those. I'd bet they're out of round.

    Jack the front end up so the tire is just able to turn and spin it, I've checked more than one that way.
