Most likely your needin your wheels re-aligned and the tracking sorted.

Have you lowered your car and/or put bigger wheels on?

It might be.. has the car had a bump in the past, might have knocked the tracking..

Take it to a good garage and get them to check your alignment and tracking.

wheel balancing does not cause uneven tyre wear. wheel alignment causes uneven tyre wear.



G30 RG1, basically take your car and get it balanced & aligned. if it still shakes then post again & we'll take it from there!
