Default Shaking steering wheel

Just got new wheels and tires put on and now my steering wheel violently shakes back and forth when driving. I got the truck aligned again to maybe fix the issue but it did not fix it. Tie rods were replaced during my first alignment after I put a 2.5" level on. The steering wheel did not shake after the level, just after the new wheels and tires. Any suggestions?

Sounds like your tires need to be re-balanced. Hopefully it's just a bad balance job and not an out of round tire

Thx... Signatures don't show up on mobile device apparently.

It appears those tires are exclusive to discount tire. At first glance I thought they were Hankook Dynapros which made me cringe... Long story... OP, if you have a terrible ride, I'm willing to bet you have a tire out of round. "Exclusive" deals are ones I tend to go the other way on. Doesn't seem to be everyone's experience, but it was always my luck when trying to get a "good deal."

Get them rebalanced. I had the same problem after I bought my truck which came with new tires. I work at discount tire and they will take care of you if it is out of round and its brand new

Yep, the ATPs. Thanks for all the responses, I hope it won't be anything too major
