Would 235/45 17 solve the issue?

I have a 2005 with close to 36,000 on the ORIGINAL tires. They have been rotated twice I believe. I am hoping that the dealership would tell me if there is any unusual wear on the inside wall.

My steering wheel 'shimmies' between 57-65 mph. I went for an oil change and tire plug yesterday at the dealership and told them about the 'shimmy'. I did not get it fixed since they would have to test drive the car. I don't trust them. And to bring the car up to near 70 on a road that is crowded and with a 45 or 50mph speed limit didn't sound like such a good idea.

Something is wrong when you have a car capable of so much and cannot use these capabilities in fear of a blow out. WTF!

I had this happen to me once and I had a bent wheel, I got the shimmies around the same speed. Had the whell fixed and problem went away

It is fairly easy to inspect for strut rub or tire wear. Just turn the steering wheel fully ccw, inspect the strut and the inside of the tire, then go fully cw with the wheel....
Mine is still rub free after 12k+ miles. I inspect at every oil change.

Wife laughs at me...I check weekly...No signs as of yet...But I only have 7500 miles on an 04

I'm wondering if that was my problem since the shimmy went away when I got 18"s. I could tell the previous owner curbed the left front pretty hard once.

I thought 2006's were almost exempt from the strut rub, but I just checked the inside of my tires last week. The driver side inside rib has almost still new tread, and for the passenger side, smooth as a babies botton, all the tread is gone on the edge. I'm planning to address this to the dealership i baught it from this Saturday.
