    Does anyone have an experience with Atlas Paraller AT? Specifically with 265/75R16. Current experiencing steering wheel shake/vibration/wobble doing anything over 65mph. I’ve changed loads of parts and nothing has helped. Hoping the tires are the culprit but I have nothing to compare with since these are what the truck came with when I bought it.

    Shake in the wheel in our experience is tire related 90% of the time. I would do as @soundman98 said, swap ONE of the front tires from the front to the back, then the other.
    Alignment would be second most common cause and beyond that, worn ball joints/bushings, bad steering rack?

    Go to a shop with road force balancer and check how out-of-round the front tires are. Being a cheap chineseium brand, mfg defects are highly probable.

    Atlas Tires is a Chinese company whose main contact phone number has +86 country code: https://www.atlas-tires.com/contact-us/

    I have rotated the tires out with no noticeable difference. I’m still skeptical of all 4 tires though.

    I’ve just gotten my rack and pinion replaced hoping that would fix it but nothing. Also I have brand new LCA. The UCA are the only other thing I’m skeptical about since they are after market SPC ball joint. They show no sign of wear or tear but that’s the only part of my suspension that isn’t stock at this point

    if there's no difference, it's more than likely in the front brake discs. a wobbling/vibration in the wheel assembly will follow that wheel/tire to the new location. almost all tires take slightly different amounts of weight to balance out, meaning the intensity of the vibration is statistically almost impossible be the same across 2 different pairs of tires.

    unless you know history of the brake system, i recommend(and personally follow any time i buy a used vehicle) replacing the front brake pads and rotors.

    Could it still be brakes even when shaking is happening when I’m not applying the brakes. I kinda wrote off the brakes with my assumption.

    Warped rotor won't cause vibration in the steering wheel I less brakes are applied. Your tires are likely unbalanced, possibly due to manufacturer defect.

    does the vibration get worse when applying the brakes?
