    Default Alignment with wider tires?

    I was running 195/65/15 (Gislaveds) winters on non-OEM wheels with a hubcentric spacer. I had noticed some uneven wear so I got an alignment done.

    This week, I switched back to my summers (Turanzas) which are the 205/65/15 on Naiads. I removed the hubcentric ring and reinstalled the alignment peg.


    I noticed on the highway quite a bit of highspeed vibration ~120 km/hr which wasn't there last season and wasn't there on the winters. Should I get my alignment redone since they were done originally with non-oem narrower wheels with a spacer?

    Any other ideas?

    Unless you think it's out not really.
    Out of alignment won't make a car vibrate per se, unless it's so far out of spec that it's dangerous

    I'll get them balanced again. Maybe a lead fell off
