new tires still shake · vibration after tire replacement
A vibration that was expected to be fixed by new tires is still present, or a new vibration appears right after a tire replacement.
Go back to the shop that installed the tires - a rebalance is quick, and reputable shops will typically redo it at no charge if it was their error.
Usually safe to drive, but get it addressed - persistent vibration accelerates wear on suspension and steering components.
