HELP with Steering Shimmy

[Mtn.Rush]

Limited 20" owners only please.
What type of tires did your LIMITED come with and do you feel ANY Steering wheel shimmy, AT ALL even slight, starting around 60 mph??? I test drove 2 limiteds and they both get it around 60-70 mph. My tires are Bridgestone and I get it. Toyota rep stated its because the 20" low profile wheels and new suspension system. I had them roadforce balance and aligned and according to them it is spot on, but the tech who drove with me confirmed the shimmy. Any input (from ANYONE here not just the Limited guys). Thanks fellas

No shimmy at all here. I think mine came w/ bridgestones but am out of town so I can't go look. I did test drive a trail that shimmied quite a bit before i bought the limited

Check your air pressure. If you are at the max recomended, then I would guess still a balance problem and have another dealer give it a try. If they are doing it correctly, they will find the high/heavy spot on the wheel as compared to the high/heavy spot on the tire and spin the tire so both high/heavy spots are 180 degrees apart from each other. If you have 10 pounds or more difference between the max tire pressure when the tire is cold, then try placing 5 more psi in the tires and see if the shimmy goes away.

Tire pressure is exact, and the dealer looked at it twice. The tech seemed stumped also, but felt it for sure.

No problem at all on my Limited w/ Bridgestones.
