G500
Exclamation Steering Wheel Shimmy

I have a G500 on 23" rims. The rims just got trued and I had an alignment done. However, I have taken it to four different places to try and get it balanced and the problem won't go away. Basically, the steering wheel shakes pretty bad between 60mph and 70mph. Is there something besides those three things it could be? The last fix I plan on doing that I know could change things is replacing the front two tires...one is badly worn and the other one is not far behind it. Does anybody have any other suggestions?

Belt separation in the tires.

Simple fix throw out the 23s and go back to 18 or 19 inch rims
