Vibration/ Suspension Woes
Ok... So I Bought 4 Used Tires To Temporarily To Put On My Car Until I Get A Brand New Set And Had Them Mounted And "Balanced". Now When I Hop On I-95 And Attempt To Drive Over 60 mph The Steering Wheel Shakes As Does The Pedal When I'm Accelerating. I Take It To A Shop To Get The Wheels Aligned. Before Guy Does So, He Tells Me That I Have A Bad Outer Tie Rod. Could This Be The Cause Of Vibration Problem? Also Tells Me Axle Will Need Replacing Soon. I Figured Since I'm Going To Have Such Area Worked On, Should I Just Replace Both Axles, Inner & Outer Tie Rods Before I Take It To Get Aligned? What Else Should Be Replaced Suspension Wise?

Yes, bad tie rod will cause shaking. Different brands of tires will not, but one out of round, or out of ballance certainly will. Balance is easy to fix, control arms and tie rods are a little more involved.

I had a 4 set of goodyear, with the unidirectional tread for water channeling. I had them on a long time, without rotating. They became a LOUD set of tires. When I finally put on a new set, I could not believe how silent it was in the cabin, and the max isn't all that sound-dampened to begin with...
Point is, bad tires can make some noise. And it's more about the shape than tread.
