Weird feedback through steerignwheel after new tires
I recently put some slightly larger than stock ( I think he said 1cm wider, 1cm taller) tires on my car... but what I noticed more than anythign else is some feedback through the steering wheel. driving straight it tracks fine, and doesnt have te vibration problems of a wheel balance... but when I start to apply a slight amount of pressure from full straight ahead... it seems like I feel a pulsing of feedback or something.
Could this be anything serious like my power steering being overworked or is it more likely something trivial like new tires are just grabbier? tires are dunlop direzza dz101... and front end alignment has been checked and is fine. Appreciate comments and sorry I could be more accurate with description |

I have had this, too. I found that it was much worse in the rain. After two alignments it is better, but there is just a hint of it left. Wheels/Tires balanced perfectly.

check to make sure all the tires were mounted correctly, some tires can only be mounted one way
