When I got my new tires put on (at WalMart ) He asked about how I wanted the weights, can't seem to remember just how the conversation went but he couldn't put them on just the inside, so I've got a weight on the inside and outside.

If you didn't experience this with old tires I'd bet the balance is off or you have a tire out of round.

Either rotate the front to the rear or have them re-balanced and see what you get.

Take it back to where you had the tires put on, have them take it for a drive, and see exactly what you are experiencing. See what they suggest.

Mine vibrates alittle bit when I'm on the interstate but when i let go of the steering wheel, it still goes straight. I'd just imagine since they are big mud tires, there will be alittle vibration.

He put my weights on in the inside of the wheels. But i don't even know if they balanced them or not cause he never said he did. Unless when he changed the weights to the inside of the wheel that counted as balancing?

A good balance job will usually have weights onthe inside and outside- not just one side.
