I just said like two seconds ago it cant be tire balance at lower speeds, tires being out of balance is felt above 60mph, now like Jim said a damaged tire is a cause for the shaking as well.




Relax buddy!! You got your sports bra on too tight!
There have been cases, I am sure, seeing as how there are millions of cars on the road that wheel vibration was a cause of unbalanced tires at speeds under 60 mph. In a couple of cases, among the 16 different cars I have owned in my life, I had wheel vibration due to unbalanced tires...and this happened at speeds between 65-90 kmph. (That's 40-50 mph) There are also factors such as rim size etc that can made balancing a tire more difficult. Sometime the tech. will balance the tires(rims) are balanced on the inside and outside in conjunction. Ford did this with my probe GT rims a couple of times to solve a tire balance issue. And yes, belts that are starting to give way on a tire can also cause vibration. I may be wrong, but most techs will check the tire balance automatically if a customer comes in with this complaint.
Think before you jump down someone's throat for no reason dipshit !
