My car shakes, popping noise after changing wheels and tires?

I just changed my wheels and tires today with a friend, and my car was driving fine at first, then I started noticing a pop pop pop pop noise that got worse and worse. The car was also shaking with the pops. I thought one of my tires blew out, but the tires seem fine. Could this just be a result of them not being balanced? Or perhaps poor installation technique? Do you think it sounds serious? They should fit, they came off the same model car with the same chassis as mine.

Thanks everyoneMy car shakes, popping noise after changing wheels and tires?
something is cleary wrong. what who knows, a tire may be separating, you may be left lug nuts loose, if its okay when the tires are cold, then after they heat up by driving for 20 minutes you could have a separating tread. but take it to a professional and make damn sure, or else a tire may pass you on the freeway, shaking tells me you have a severe problem somewhere, get it fixed sooner, not later.AND THIS COULD BE ALMOST ANYTHING, LIKE A SEVERELY DAMAGED RIM FOR EXAMPLE.My car shakes, popping noise after changing wheels and tires?
you need to switch them back because they dont fit.it doesnt matter if they are the same year model and chasis they need to be the same make to fit properly because every car manufacturer has different wheel patterns ,if you continue to drive it like that you are gonna cause more damage than you can pay for. what kind of car do you have and what kind is your friends.maybe you havent got them on straight or didnt torque them the right amount ,it is hard to answer this truthful without knowing this.My car shakes, popping noise after changing wheels and tires?
It could have something to do with the balance of the tires. This should be more noticeable at higher speed. Alignment could also be an issue, but should have been noticeable with your old set of tires on too. I agree with the first poster, the first thing you should do is make sure all the lugnuts are on snugly. Perhaps even pop the wheels off again to make sure nothing got jammed between the wheels and the mounting surface (ie Brake disc or drum)
This has happened to me before. It turned out the lugs were not on tight enough and my tires could have fallen off while i was driving had i not gotten it checked out when i did.



Try tightening the lugs, and if the sound doesn't go away go to get it checked out ASAP. Don't drive on the freeway or fast at all until you know. Don't want anything coming off going over 60mph.
