It is not the string okay, but when i drive like 40km/hr it will be okay, and when i got at the speed of 100km/hr the string shakes a bit, but my tire is new, with 195/50 r 15. i checked it with three mechanics but they said the tire is bad, but which is not. i already checked and put balance on each wheel. what shall i do about it? Thank you so much!

Defective new tires is not unheard of but not as common as in the past. Balance is not the issue. Have them balanced on a "road-force" balancer. That will show up variations in how the sidewalls flex in different areas, and it will show up a bent wheel. If they all pass, have the wheels measured for "lateral runout" on the car. If a wheel is found to be wobbling sideways as it rotates, look for debris sticking between the brake rotor and wheel or that fell between the brake rotor and hub.
