Why in the hell would you drive 130mph? I think I've been over 100mph only once in my life and that was at the track.

I'm not sure why Moshneb decided to interject his problems about alignment into your thread about spark plugs?
Back on page 2, out of nowhere, Moshneb writes:
"OK but i think your car is 2008 ,pls wait for the endless shimmy ,the bad handling,routers,bad a/c etc"
Then you, Simson, offered him good advice tying to help him out.
I also searched around for the "shimmy" problem and almost all of the cases were just as you described, poor alignment, rotors, bent rims or ballance that led to uneven tread ware. Once that happens your tires are gone.
These low profile tires seem to be suceptable to alignment or damage caused by improper maintenance. Or you need to make sure who ever is ballancing and aligning your tires really knows what they are doing. It's a Kia right, who cares about doing a good job?
All tires start to shimmy if they aren't rotated. I think with Kia, people just like to assume it's something wrong with the car.
The tires are probably more difficult to maintain.
But hey, if you got a tire problem start a tire problem thread instead of flaiming everyone else who is trying to maintain their cars! Sir!
