[QUOTE="v65, post: 258805, member: 1773"] When you say after another thousand miles, does that mean it did not have a head shake for the 1000 miles in between? It sounds like there are short periods when there is no head shake from the second quote. That might indicate the dealer is somewhat correct about the head shake coming from the cupped tires. :o However, aggressive driving is not the culprit here and tires sure as hell should not cup in the first 800 miles. IMO we are trying to figure out why the tires are cupping: so to go with the obvious what pressure are you running in them? BTW, ditto above, 2006 with no head shake (unless the front wheel is off the ground ;) ). [/QUOTE]
